Fistful of Vengeance

It's a campy b grade sequel to the cancelled WU Assassins series, that didn't make it out of season 1.

What's worse is that any fans of the cancelled series won't even know it's a sequel. Because the previews & title don't tell you that. Not even the IMDB description mentions the series.

It's really not worth your time. It does a poor job of explaining itself, and connecting itself to the original series. They kill off the big bad, and you're left not even knowing how they did it.

Would have LOVED to see a martial flick with Ico Uwais. He has some awesome moves, and while we wait for Season 3 of "Warrior (2019)" or re-runs of Into the Badlands, there really isn't that much Martial Arts for us to enjoy.

This could have been it, but because super heroes are so cool, we have to sit through a lot of cheesy supernatural stuff that really only takes things _away_ from the show instead of adding to it.

This was a convoluted, incoherent, incohesive and sloppily written screenplay. The scene editing in the cutting room was blender-worthy. Things just happen out of mid-air, other times scenes are missing important factors. Having seen the TV series, there was still too much confusion in this story, so I can imagine how lost most viewers who haven't seen the series would've felt. Even with the usually comfortable 94 min runtime and decent pacing, this felt too long and dragged out with all filler and fight scenes, and hardly any real storyline. And it's a shame, because Iko Uwais' amazing fighting skills even got boring with the same long dragged out and pointless fight scenes. There's a point when even too much of a great thing becomes boring and stale, and this was the case with all the action - pretty much 50% of the entire film, the rest just a cloudy misguided and lazy story, if you can even call it a story. It's also a shame the writing was so bad because of how great the casting and performances were. Even Pearl Thusi's intimate scene displaying her breathtaking and bodacious tatas was hot. The set locations and scenery were outstanding, and the cinematography was on point. But the best part of this film, was the soundtrack. I haven't heard that many great songs in one film for a very long time. I'll be definitely searching out for that soundtrack. Nevertheless, I'm still giving this a very generous 6/10 (2 stars go strictly to Thusi's lovely pair), and it could've been much higher had the writers and director fixed the terrible writing.

There was a bit of this mediocrity and corniness throughout the Wu Assassins series, but overall the series was much more watchable and cooler than this wrap-up movie! :-(

It feels as if a few actors said to each other," I know a guy who does weddings part time, we can hire him to do a movie and I have a story that came to me in a lucid dream when I was drunk, and my 12 years old sister told me she can write a script for it as she studies drama in school, let's all put our savings and make this great movie... 1. Bad , bad fight scenes. They look so bad, it is stunning how they managed to make them bad as it would be hard 2. Cinematography/camerawork is absolutely horrible. One of the worst I've seen this year. Shaky camera, weird angles, bad cuts (too hide poor fight scenes), bad use of extas 3. Script is boring. Story makes no sense and the script is extremely poorly written.

To be honest I could not finish. Gave up midway as there was no sense continuing after a 45 minute torture of amateurish nonsense. Anyone giving this movie a higher than 4-5 rating would be lying. I have no idea how Netflix was involved in this "craftmanship"
