I was completely blown away by this film. I had no expectations when going to see it, but I must say, my expectations were exceeded.
The cinematography, highlighting the dark and claustrophobic life of Indian city slum-dwellers, was very well done. I have visited such areas on a recent trip to India, and the feelings of heat, damp and tight spaces were well captured.
The story development was well constructed, and slowly drew me in, and took me on the protagonist's journey. The characters were well-acted and highly believable, as such people do exist in India, and what happened to 'Bobby' and his mother also sadly does, too.
As a martial artist myself, I was highly impressed with the fight scenes and the fight choreography. They were of the highest level, and on par with the outstanding John Wick series of films. For these alone, I highly recommend this film. A great movie on many levels.

'Master Cheng' exhibits the essentials of a great film, much like the directorial films of Clint Eastwood. Low budget, small cast, limited location, but an excellent story and excellent use of both actors and location settings.
From the start of the film, I was slowly drawn in. I was kept in by the strong performances of the lead characters, as well as the mystery and emotional undertones of the two main leads.
If you're a film student, this film is certainly one to watch, as it demonstrates the critical attributes of a good movie. If you are a film-lover, as I am, I highly recommend this film as a very refreshing change from all the CGI or 'guns and explosion' laden films that we are bombarded with. This film made me want to seek out other films of this kind.
Enjoy!

I can think of no other series of movies that consistently improves upon itself than the John Wick series. This fourth installment improves even upon the fantastic third movie. The action sequences are unparalleled and the martial arts sequences are, as always, phenomenal. I agree with my fellow reviewers that this is definitely one of the greatest action movies ever made - as were they all. It is clear that the Director and Production Team really put a lot of effort into pushing the boundaries of action, and the location of Paris was used to maximum effect to produce some stunning action sequences. Make the effort to view this movie at the cinema, as you will get the full cinematic experience that this film needs to show all of the work put into it.
