Tan C @TanZoi May 8 It is an old-school action film: simple story, minimal twist, and the action carries the film. I don’t mind a straightforward plot, but I do mind forced conflict. The film’s biggest weakness is its manufactured escalation, with characters often acting irrationally just to raise the stakes. Still, the first John Wick was also criticised for being too direct. The film’s greatest strength is its fights. The hospital fight with the cramped space and physical struggle make the hero feel less invincible. The final bus fight even reminded me of The Roundup, with its close-quarters brutality and heavy impacts. This film made me see Xie Miao as the kind of action star like Donnie Yen. His acting isn’t better, but his noir-like weariness fits the role well. If you expect the narrative depth of The Raid 2, you’ll probably be disappointed. But as a straightforward action movie made by people who genuinely care about action, it works surprisingly well.
