Rating: 2.0

Not the return to modern action many a Woo fan may have hoped for but fun in fits and starts if you can forgive its flaws.

A ho-hum attempt at old school martial arts that succumbs to plodding pacing and dull storytelling.

A few fight scenes pull one back from catatonia, but mostly this is a failure without the luxury of budget constraints to blame its incompetence on.

Don Wilson is his usual likable self, gets to kick loads of butt and there’s something odd and unique about seeing him run around Ireland kicking lots of ass.

I’ve lost 90 minutes of my life that could’ve been more productively spent on getting rid of those pesky nostril hairs. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake.

One’s enjoyment of ‘My Kung Fu Sweetheart’ depends on one’s appreciation, or tolerance, for Wong Jing’s films.

The thought that Ekin Cheng would end up falling in love with her is so ludicrous that it renders the whole film frustrating to a critical extent.

Ultimately the overly serious tone and lack of energy telling the story make ‘Natural City’ a frustrating and hollow experience.

As with a lot of IFD movies, watching ‘Ninja Commandments’ can often be excruciatingly painful as the majority of the film is downright awful. Thankfully though, the ninjas are on hand to save the day.

‘Oh! Yes Sir!!!’ could have perhaps been more appealing if there had been added emphasis on the action or a little less smuttiness in the humour.

A few moments of Wang Yu madness creep into the film to enliven things, but this is mostly a hard slog to get through.

‘Ong Bak 3’ has all the hallmarks of a film rushed into production with a complete disregard for cinematic fundamentals and quality control.
