At times, the film will have you slipping into a catatonic state and you’ll just be praying for the next bit of action to come along.

Like most martial arts movies to emerge out of Hong Kong in recent years, there are flashes of the talent involved but it’s not nearly as entertaining as it should have been.

‘Fatal Move’ is most certainly flawed and could have been a lot tighter and less meandering. Yet it still manages to be an entertaining slice of gangster action that entertains if never really ignites.

Thankfully this low-budget Hong Kong drama has enough going for it to sidestep its lazier moments.
