An average movie

To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Keanu Reeves, I thought I might as well check his first (and so far only) directing effort. Well, it was rather surprising that Reeves would choose to direct such a typical Asian martial arts flick but, on the other hand, why not? Anyway, eventually, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, it was still nothing really mindblowing though. Basically, it all depends if you love this kind of martial-arts. I mean, if you do, I think 50% of the whole thing was made of fighting scenes and I have to admit that those scenes were actually really neat so you will definitely enjoy this flick. However, if you are like me with only a mild interest in this genre, you will probably be bored by the seriously generic story. Seriously, why does it always have to be about a great fighter who actually doesn’t want to fight? Couldn’t they find something else? At least, it was neat that Keanu Reeves chose himself to play the villain but he could have developed his character a little bit more. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and I guess it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
