Wu Assassins

Kai Jin is a serene and calm chef in a restaurant of San Francisco. He becomes the latest Wu assassin, i.e. the chosen one, thanks to a monk piece which gives him the power of a thousand monks. His mission, should he choose to accept it, consists in restoring balance in San Francisco's Chinatown.

A series avec Iko Uwais et Mark Dacascos, that's an offer you can't refuse. It's globally well-interpreted with a childish and cheesy atmosphère which reminds me Iron Fist (2017) and with a script freely inspired from L'ultimo dominatore dell'aria (2010). Even if the Computer-Generated Imagery is perfectible, the series is worth a stab, thanks to talented and perfectly orchestrated kung-fu fighting.

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!

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.

The acting isn't great, the special effects are probably from about 10 years ago standard and it's cheesy as hell but I'm really enjoying it. The fight scenes are fantastic. You'll know after 1 episode if you want to watch more.
