POSITIVES…
This crowd pleasing movie seems perfect for people who grew up with a fondness for martial arts and Kung Fu flicks, but the normality of regular life unfortunately kept all that strictly in the realm of fantasy and not reality.
Premise of middle age men who let go of their martial arts upbringing from back when they were young, who now have to avenge their fallen master, is a pretty entertaining idea.
Alain Uy, Ron Yuan, and Mykel Shannon Jenkins, are excellent as the three tigers. Their chemistry together and their character progressions, easily helps keep you invested with where the plot takes them.
Seeing that montage at the beginning, as if shot via a VCR camcorder gave me a huge smile.
That set piece at the empty pool. Fantastic! Great example that represents all the fun "beimo" you'll see in this.
Gotta admire the fight choreography for this movie.
I really liked the writing and the dialogue. Good stuff here.
There are some fun comedy bits and lines that I really really enjoyed.
Matthew Page amused me a lot as the character of Carter.
"A fortune cookie, made by white flour."
Thematically has solid lessons worth learning.
NEGATIVES…
Might be criticized for being kinda simple and straightforward of a story.
If you're expecting a ton of action scenes, then you might be disappointed.
You're definitely going to have to suspend your disbelief for some of the things you'll see.
Fart jokes. Really?
LOVED IT enjoyeditlikedititsokayitsmehitsterrible
