  Love Never Ends

  4.5
  Drama, Family, Romance  •  China

  A heart-warming love story, a powerful comment on the treatment of the elderly in China (though it can be extended worldwide) and a stunning drama that looks at how the marginalised survive.

  Yadang: The Snitch

  4.0
  Action, Crime, Drama  •  South Korea

  For the most part, ‘Yadang: The Snitch’ is a refreshing spin on the gangster/drug/corruption narrative that often soars thanks to its sheer force of momentum and electric lead performance.

  Hitman In The Hand Of Buddha

  3.5
  Action, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong, South Korea

  ‘Hitman in the Hand of Buddha’ is often very decent, but its flaws drag it away from approaching the top tier of the genre.

  Out Of Reach

  1.5
  Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller  •  USA

  Unless you’re looking to poke fun at it, I’d imagine even the most dedicated Steven Seagal fans will find it hard to recommend ‘Out of Reach’.

  The Hunted

  4.0
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  USA

  All but forgotten gem from the mid-90s starring one-time ‘Highlander’ Christopher Lambert and from the writer of ‘Under Siege’, ‘The Hunted’ is a savage little ninja movie that deserves more recognition.

  Invincible Swordsman

  3.5
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts, Wuxia  •  China

  The action is slick and just about gets the balance right between computer effects and practical choreography, while the cast are appealing.
