And I'm not suggesting that the narrative itself is amazing, but usually these films just end up having increasingly convoluted and nonsensical plots that you can barely even keep up with, much less understand what's even going on.

But, being honest, this is a really damn good movie that, surprisingly, held my interest with its narrative. It should be obvious to anyone who has seen both Raid films that there's no way this movie could ever come close to that, there's hardly any movie that could come close to how amazing both of those flicks were. That is, of course, excluding The Raid and The Raid 2, with the latter being one of the best action movies I have ever seen. The point of it all is that it's been a while since I've been this entertained by a martial arts movie. But that's neither here nor there, the point is that I enjoy these films quite a bit, sometimes even when they're not that good. I'm also ashamed of the fact that I haven't seen as many of the old-school kung fu movies as I should have by this point in my life. I may not review them as often as I should, and that's bad on my part, but I'm a big fan of martial arts movies. If you go into this expecting "Ong Bak", you might end the film in a sleeper hold.
I have to say, the horrid English singer-songwriter girl who sings over the more emotional parts of the film is so much western audience pandering that I was laughing when I should have been in thoughtful repose. And jumping through a bus window is cool, but most bus routes don't take this long to get to their destination. In this instance it is only an excuse to get to fight scenes that are too few and far between to make it worth the wait. There's some vague theme of doing difficult things for our family (especially our brothers), but even that has been done to death by much better martial arts movies. There's a Chinese guy with down syndrome that can communicate with a little girl with leukemia via emojis that I think was supposed to be funny or touching, but you can't do such an absurd deus ex machina without a deeper purpose behind it. Just because it's complicated doesn't make it smart, and just because it's confusing doesn't make it complicated.

It just keeps drooling and flopping one scene to the next with an unnecessarily complicated series of coincidences having to do with the main characters' current health statuses, then people fight, and repeat. "Oh!" You think, "This might not be so bad after all". Sure, from the opening bars of Mozart's Requiem, you might get the impression that you are in for a beautifully shot, subtle but gritty kick 'em out/shoot 'em up thrill ride, but after the first action set piece the next 30 minutes continually loses steam until the film nearly grinds to a halt. Like the title would suggest, the film is terrible. After watching "Iron Monkey" the night before, I was hoping to see a solid martial arts action flick from THIS year.
