Watch The Official Trailer For Well Go USA’s Home Release Of Xu Haofeng’s THE FINAL MASTER

Details and visual content remain pending for acclaimed martial arts action auteur Xu Haofeng’s upcoming adaptation, The Hidden Blade now circulating at Cannes. In the meantime, it’s been about a year and a half the director’s most recent celebrated release, The Final Master (as it was titled for the U.S.) hit limited screens from United Entertainment Partners and in the wake of much acclaim earned for its overall fight choreography. That said, I can honestly attest to my own experience of the film was pretty fantastic given its theater setting. The sound made it much more engaging to watch the fights whilst engaging the overall mood and dramatic tension with actor Liao Fan starring in the title role of a martial arts instructor who finds himself caught up in a deadly whirlwind of upheaval and miltary proliferation in the early 20th century. In 1930s China, unrest rules the nation. Chen, […]

THE LEGEND OF BRUCE LEE – VOL 2: Movement With A Heart

It can be difficult to put into words what Bruce Lee gave to the world of martial arts but I will take his cue to simplify it: movement with a heart. And this second volume, with all its faults and laughingly unintended background with 2000 era bloopers not caught (episode 15 shows John Woo’s “Stranglehold” [2008] on a San Francisco trolley car, twice), this volume gives us that heart to a certain degree, trying to keep a balance between fantasy and actual history regarding Bruce Lee. Beginning with episode 11, after being humiliated by the fight of Karate Master Yamamoto (Mark Dacascos) in the 10th episode, Bruce mulls over why Uncle Shao (Luoyong Wang) decided to stop the match. It was only at Ms. Ruby’s restaurant that Uncle Shao imparts his wisdom to try to temper Bruce’s anger into a more focused, humbled, and disciplined self. “If you’re too impatient, […]

Well Go USA Releases Its New Official Trailer For RAILROAD TIGERS

Ding Sheng’s new period action adventure, Railroad Tigers, has already undergone its film critic analysis and so you’ll find plenty of reviews to source between now and the time you decide to see this one on the big screen. It opens on Friday courtesy of Well Go USA and so hours before then, Thursday saw the release of the new official trailer for the Jackie Chan headliner which sees our legendary star lead a ragtag team of rebels on a last ditch effort to cripple the Japanese during World War II. Our own review is up and in citing it some, look out for the usual formulaic, big scale Chan-style action and adventure you can expect, though less of a martial arts variety. Also, keep an eye out for Chan’s own son, Jaycee, leading a solid physical and comedic performance alongside his father despite the press neglect a la Chinese […]

WellGo USA Nabs GOD OF WAR For English-Speaking Territories

Asian action star Vincent Zhou’s career is one that’s been on the low signal end of things for a few years now. Thankfully he’s one that’s popped up from time to time with recent titles like True Legend, Wu Dang, The Boundary and The White-Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom, as I’ve been a fan of his work since having spied a few of his earlier hits like Fong Sai Yuk 2, The Blacksheep Affair and Fist Power.

Review: THE TUNNEL (2016) Digs Into A Place In Humanity Where The Sun Rarely Shines

Kim Sung-Hoon surprised me last year when I finally got around to watching his most recent crime thriller, A Hard Day. It was a perfect introduction into his work for me and so that didn’t leave much to be concerned with in lieu of his latest movie, The Tunnel, which, according to Variety‘s most recent report, is still topping the Korean box office as of its second week. Author Sae Jo-Won’s 2013 novel serves as the inspiration for Kim’s own script which stands as way more than a mere underdog tale of one man’s survival against the elements. Most prolifically, it dares to cast an obligatory spotlight on some of the worst scenarios that could occur in any situation that stands similar in nature as lives hang in the balance. One such life is that of Lee Jung-Soo, portrayed by actor Ha Jung-Woo, a car salesman on his way home […]

Cam’s Eye Review: THE WAILING (2016) – Whom Do You Trust?

If you go fishing, do you know what you’ll catch?” This is the line that jumps out at me where you really don’t quite know what is going to happen next, a feeling which continues to a chilling, harrowing climax in The Wailing. A brutal multiple homicide leads an oafish local cop (Kwak Do-won) on the track of something sinister after a new Japanese resident (Kunimura Jun) seemingly affects the community of a small South Korean village, Gokseong, with an unusual outbreak of a skin condition that ultimately drives villagers insane and on a killing spree. After certain “mushrooms” are blamed by the media and police, the cop’s young daughter (Kim Hwan-hee) falls ill while he investigates to solve the murders and others around him. Fresh out of competition from Cannes, The Wailing is written and directed by Na Hong-jin, a favorite of the festival. The supernatural thriller gives us the […]
