Wu Assassins

Wu-Assassins was a lot better than I expected it to be and much better than the 6.4 rating it has. It's about a San Francisco chef (Iko Uwais) who becomes the latest in a line of assassins chosen to keep the mystical Wu powers out of the hands of evil people. It has plenty of martial arts and action with great fight scenes. It's not a perfect show but it is entertaining. 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 was hoping for another season! Even though a second season never came it was popular enough that they did make movie to finish up the story. Iko Uwais is one of the best martial artists in the world and so fun to watch!

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.

I gave this a 6 but it doesn't deserve that. But - on the other hand I don't want the movie execs to think "oh - people don't like martial arts tv shows".

I do love martial arts shows. "Warrior", "Into the Badlands", "Daredevil". They can be made.

But this is just silly. The CGI is (very) low budget and low talent.

The stunt coordination is not worthy of skilled people like Dacascos and Uwais.

The use of stock footage, stock sounds and music is too much.

The story is good, but it's told in a really condescending way.

I sooo wanted to see Dascasos in a TV show. I was disapointed.

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.
