The big things, like the closest Marine base is 300 miles away, are forgiveable (they're telling a story and need a villain).īut the little things, like federal officers would be bearded and wearing black leather jackets, like Kung fu movie villains, took away from the movie. The story was mostly set in San Francisco, so as a yank it was disconcerting to see the many little things that the movie didn't get right. The martial arts scenes were entertaining and effective, as was the presence of Bruce Lee and his school.īanda Margraf balanced all the heavy characters like a breath of fresh air, her character was like able, watchable, and gave Ip Man insight.
The good, watchable parts of the movie centered on Donnie Yen and the challenges of parenting.
