Wu Assassins

Predictable, cheesy bit fun... like crossing the movie "Bullet Proof Monk" with the TV Series "Kung Fu."

It was binge worthy on a night I couldn't sleep as it doesn't require a whole lot of focus to follow the in-surprising story line.

Wu-Assassins was a lot better than I expected it to be and much better than the 6.4 rating it has. It has plenty of action with great fight scenes. People seem to be all over the place on it, a lot of people either love it or hate it. I'm one of the people who liked it and can't wait for another season! Iko Uwais is one of the best martial artists in the world and so fun to watch.

I really enjoyed Wu Assassins. The plot is a little out there... kind of like what you would expect from an anime series. But it's filled with lots of lore to explore, and characters I want to see more of.

The only big problem I have is with the digital effects. They're pretty bad... it's almost kind of funny. A good comparison would be the Mortal Kombat films from the 90's. Just like that!

Bottom line, it's a fun, mystical, action thriller that needs some more seasons to flesh out what it brought to the table.

(Oh, and if you're reading this and have connections to the show, please don't waste an easter egg of Katheryn Winnick watching and rooting for a Minnesota "Vikings" game)

The effects suck big time. The acting could be better. I had more expectations from the lead actor as he is ranked quite high for his roles in the Raid movie series. Somehow the hip hop tracks don't just fit in with the mood or scene. Honestly don't know how it has such a high rating.

It's got Katheryn Winnick finally given a chance to show off her karate chops, it's got Iko Uwais doing his wooden acting with fantastic martial arts and... It's got fireballs! If you like Oriental themed stories with great martial arts, the B-gradeness of everything can be forgiven, it's entertaining enough.
