I really wanted to give this a rave review, I loved the Wu Assassin TV Show but this is a pale imitation.
I felt bad for scoring it so low
The story is poor, it's as if they rushed to out a movie together so that people would remember the Wu Assassin existed , they should not have bothered, the story is disjointed with no character development, characters appear with no real addition to the storyline, the bad guys wear black leather jackets with metal studs and the hood guys wear normal street clothes that's the level this is working at
Poor editing and production make for a film that had potential to come across as poor and Ill-conceived, I'm not if Katheryn Winnick could have rescued this?
The good points are the fight scenes with Uwais and Tan kicking but, they are well choreographed as you would expect from something with Iko Uwais starring
Watch it if you like long decent choreographed martial arts sequences, just turn your brain all the way down to not caring what you watch mode and you'll be ok.

Unfortunately poor
This was so bad!
Okay i watched this only for Iko Uwais & to enjoy him again in action but the action was so dull & slow it felt like he was practicing or fighting with kids as the other cast & bad guys seem too slow & amateurish. The dialogues were fillers & too cheesy. The direction also was not very exciting. Overall this was just a bad watch. And Iko please don't turn yourself into a B-grade action movie star because we know from your previous films that you can do alot better than this.
Iko Uwais deserves better
This one is so dreadful. Noisy action without rhythm, villains who aren't threatening enough, no stakes and confusing story with fantasy mumbo jumbo. Iko is one of the best martial arts actors we have and its sad to watch him get wasted in films like this or Snake Eyes. Also putting hip hop music in every fight scene doesn't make it cool, it gets annoying after a time.
