I'm sure plenty of you will pick an art house drama or true story thriller or a 3-hour international war epic, so I thought I would keep it light.

What a cool film, but let me start by saying that I fucking love Kung Fu

The story wasn't anything original, but that's not what Kung Fu movies are about. The fight scenes were spectacular, the story moved along at a pace that kept you interested. Dialogue was kinda clunky though.
I liked what they'd done keeping colour to a minimum to give that bleak slum feel

I have a feeling this is pretty much how this is gonna go. At least for the first three months. Then it'll stop all together.
