ridiculous rating

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Many original techniques are demonstrated. Perfect to those who are interested in martial arts history.
