Tiger, tiger

Man of Tai Chi (2013)

Directed by Keanu Reeves this film stars Tiger Chen, Karen Mok, Iko Uwais and it's director. A delivery man that is a student of Tai Chi comes to the attention of a man organising underground fights.

Plenty of times this film skirts being something interesting only to fall short every time and comes across as a script written by someone with only a passing knowledge of it's subject matter. The plot is essentially the battle for a man's soul but it never really goes deep enough and fits the standard rules of screen writing too closely at times. I enjoyed the martial arts sequences but some of them are too long and feel like they are filling out for a lack of story.


3/5
