In the hands of a more talented filmmaker, this movie had the potential to become a new martial-arts classic. In Reiné’s, it’s the kind of thing that plays well as an evening’s diversion on Netflix, but doesn’t ever rise above the level of “just another good mid-tier actioner." Read full review

Fistful of Vengeance is a movie in duration only; it’s pretty slapdash in terms of its execution, even during its glossy-looking action set pieces. Read full review

The best action sequence comes at the end, which bolsters the film's best use of camera movement and editing to highlight the fight choreography. Read full review

Without tactical, philosophical or emotional grounding, the battle scenes don’t land with any cinematic force. Read full review

I suppose that level of transparence is laudable, but yes, this is an action film with overly edited sequences rather than anything truly choreographed, so there's no fluidity to these and they're not particularly exciting.

Disappointing if you're looking for more than numb yourself a bit.… Expand

Awful.
Awful story.
Awful fight scenes. Awful acting. Awful choreography. A "Stand-alone Sequel" to the equally awful Wu Assassins. Netflix produced trash. I understand Iko Uwais wanting some mainstream exposure but he needs to be careful, he is a fantastic martial artist and needs to avoidAwful.
