"At least let me die with a hot girl!!"
13 August 2022
Straight out of the bat, I would not recommend you watch this film.. even if interested.

Let me make my case : 1. The movie, 30+ minutes in (of around 1h20), is still trying to get started.. Laying out the ground-work for what the movie will be about. Once it "gets going", there is no more plot.. just arbitrary action scenes. In the end there are no character to care about or anything that pays off. Just a predictable and boring outcome.

2. The CGI is simply atrocious! The type that looks digitally perfect, and completely unrealistic (lighting, movement, you name it). Just 1 minute in and you can get an idea of the talent/budget employed on this movie.

3. There's a lot of poorly delivered English dialogue.

4. The brief showing of the "Power" Suit made me want to watch Iron Man (2008). But unlike that film, this meanders in the character introduction, and none of the fun. There's just no reason to watch it.

If you can get over the cheap visuals, it has good camera work and choreographies, and a short 3rd-person-perspective action scene (think Hardcore Henry). I'm sad for Siu-Wong Fan (lead), because he deserved a better script! He is one of the few to properly deliver his lines, and his physicality is good.
