With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for fans of a good revenge story and anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to Avengement. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
A debt-ridden martial artist is forced to work for a gangster, who then murders his family.
