TIFF REVIEW: FILM #3 "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen"







DIRECTED BY - Andrew Lau

IN MY OPINION - 7/10



What a way to start a movie. Kicking some serious serious wartime ass. I could watch the start to this movie a number of times in a row and not once be dissappointed.
Now, the rest of the movie ....
It's a solid action flick, and the action scenes are bar none. It's just the unfortunate exposition and melodrama filling the gaps that were a problem. Tacky film effects and over acting are fun, but loose their appeal durring a 2 hr film. Oh well, all is forgotten when you watch one man take on 50 and walk away with only scrapes and bruises.

If you like Chinese action films, then watch this. If you like melodrama durring war time then watch this.
