My Movie Review: The movie is a fistful of guacamole you eat when it's fresh but having hard time finishing it with a mashed of punches that counterflow didn't delver the impact it supposed to hit leaving you with all the crumbs and juice to dip' you settle to spread the action till the end! Fistful of Vengeance is a hit and miss have a kick-ass start that's nice to see with fancy lights it felt elevated then the somewhat refuge camp felt homey and some of the fight scenes were promising and to some extent were extreme but the fight to save the world is not felt seems it has lesser scope than what it promise that's why a bit dissapointing the cast were amazing and a lot capable of producing more engaging and worth seeing actioner if the storyline have more depth towards the last parts could have great follow up to bad it didn't unleash its full potential:( It has fleeting moments where things come together but is often a dramatic waste of the talents involved weak film that's rushed, chaotic and full of clunky exposition, bad one liners and poor visual effects on some parts that should have been better making the latter part forgetable one! Primary villain is Ku An Qi, Dr. Pan's twin sister, holder of the second amulet half, and queen of the Bangkok underworld who's formidable opponent against the Wu Assassins, sending wave after wave of assailants against the Wu team until the Interpol agency is forced to intervene too bad don't remember how they defeat her and that says a lot, all of a sudden their on the beach!
Critics Reviews: A movie in duration only; its pretty slapdash in terms of its execution, even during its glossy-looking action set pieces. Fun action packed, short run time, wonky cgi, some plot holes but great set designs, cool gadgets and lots of ass kicking. If you prefer your action movies sexy, rather than brutal, look no further, “Fistful of Vengeance” is definitely the film for you. Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance could've and should've spent more time on creating a more coherent story with original characters and little less time on the fight choreography. With a more engaging story that did more than settle for merely being average, Fistful of Vengeance could have been a real contender instead of being a passable and forgettable distraction. It’s the kind of thing that plays well as an evening’s diversion on Netflix, but doesn’t ever rise above the level of “just another good mid-tier actioner." You can tell that the plot and the character arcs weren't the focus here, and that's fine until it starts raising more questions than youd like about who's who and what's what. But Fistful of Vengeance is undeniably generous in its action. An action packed and exciting movie with great fight choreography. The exposition laden adventure segments can be a slog to get though, but then the next brawl comes up and will suck audiences right back in. There's still a lot of mileage in the continuing saga of the Wu Assassins, but Fistful of Vengeance is unfortunately something of a rough patch but for keeps:)
