Unwatchable.
14 December 2019 | by tjwhale – See all my reviews

I literally cannot watch this due to the editing. Like a youtube video it cuts every half second between completely different images, there's no time to take anything in.

I'm interested in the story and think kung fu is really cool but I'm bailing after 5 minutes.
