John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Homage to the Action Greats.
Imagine Enter The Dragon x Hard to Kill x Black Rain x Bullet In The Head and you have John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum.
Outstanding action but I wish the unarmed fighting was better scripted. If you break somebody's arm, they usually aren't going to use that arm to grab or punch you. The weapons action was incomparable.
And speaking of scripts and dialogue, the limiting factor is Reeves acting ability, so expect humorless video game level dialogue, but with all the action...who cares!

Woo Fix
If you're a fan, you'll like it.
Most of the acting really sucked, and I wish the visual feel remained the same through the movie. It seemed liked they ran out of money towards the end of the second act and you could literally see the movie transform into a cheap TV show standard production. Apart from that, 7-stars because it's John Woo action start to finish and you can't beat that!
Huang Fei Hong: Nan bei ying xiong (2018)
Sad Shadow of Former Glory
Xu Ke's Wong Feihong movies used to be art. This movie is commercial trash. Ruining Wong Feihong for the current generation. As much as I hate Yip Man movies, and in particular Plasitc Donnie Yen, they are better than this. If you like martial arts movies don't bother with this one.
Mile 22 (2018)
Deus Ex Machina
The ending made you regret your investment of time in this story. The directors efforts to add dimensions to the characters were wasted due to the weakness of the story itself. The extreme violence in this movie was its only interesting quality.
