This is a martial arts-heavy protect-the-girl gangster movie, which tells you almost everything you need to know about it. The fight choreography is excellent, for the most part, but those who are squeamish at the sight of blood will want to pass on this one. A few of the fights have the classic one-at-a-time issue and there are definitely some eyebrow-raising “He’s not dead from that?” moments, but the movie deftly avoids allowing those issues to impact the plot at all. The characters are complex and conflicted enough to keep the audience invested and thinking, ticking it up from a 3 to a 4 out of 5.

Content warning: violent, bloody

Closest comparison: It’s like Safe (2012) by way of The Raid: Redemption.
