Some may not like ‘How To Choose A Royal Bride’ because of the episodic nature of the story but this is some fun if rather slight entertainment.

The plot and characterisation are very weak but there’s enough about the fights to keep a kung fu fan watching till the end.

With excellent action, a few chuckles and Jackie’s charm the film is an enjoyable watch.

Thankfully, you’re never too far away from a spot of fisticuffs, which is a very good thing because you’re not likely to gain much enjoyment from any other part of this film.

‘Contour’ is a well paced, fun film where you can feel the the makers enthusiasm and energy coming through.

It’s certainly worth spending some time in even just for the fantastic visuals on offer but may also draw you into the melancholic characters and the sombre story right up to its tragic conclusion.
