Fistful of Vengeance (2022)

I have not yet seen the show this film is the sequel to. But taking this movie as a separate entity it was pretty enjoyable. Good action and quite a bit of gore in some places. Overall a pretty enjoyable and well acted film. I hope to see Francesca Corney in more films aswell.

Fmovies: This is a fighting-chasing movie with a lot of kicking, hacking and cursing... and that's about it. The story is a mishmash of old ideas, as if an AI program grabbed a bunch of popular plot elements and strung them together, resulting in an inexplicable number of machetes, point blank misses, inappropriately sexy outfits, and polite bad guys waiting for their turn instead of attacking at once. Some good aspects: the fighting scenes are fun but waaaay too much, acting is good but only within preposterous context, and the cinematography is fantastic but a waste on this movie. It's probably a 5-star movie (out of 10) but I also deducted a point for the (dammit) "magic kung fu," and another for its lack of humor.

I was hesitant to watch this movie because a few hours before I had binged watched Wu Assassins and hated it. Why would I then watch Fistful of Vengeance you ask? It's because it has Pearl Thusi.

Even beautiful star like Thusi failed to brighten this movie. Did it explain any of the mysteries of the series? No it did not.

Fistful of Vengeance fmovies. It feels as if a few actors said to each other," I know a guy who does weddings part time, we can hire him to do a movie and I have a story that came to me in a lucid dream when I was drunk, and my 12 years old sister told me she can write a script for it as she studies drama in school, let's all put our savings and make this great movie... 1. Bad , bad fight scenes. They look so bad, it is stunning how they managed to make them bad as it would be hard 2. Cinematography/camerawork is absolutely horrible. One of the worst I've seen this year. Shaky camera, weird angles, bad cuts (too hide poor fight scenes), bad use of extas 3. Script is boring. Story makes no sense and the script is extremely poorly written.

To be honest I could not finish. Gave up midway as there was no sense continuing after a 45 minute torture of amateurish nonsense. Anyone giving this movie a higher than 4-5 rating would be lying. I have no idea how Netflix was involved in this "craftmanship"

The title should be sufficient to describe the movie.

Perhaps the artist in the movie will be big names from the Region they are from, but all of them over Netflix is simply a disaster. All and i mean all of them were over acting and too over.

Iko Uwais, throughout the movie was too good for the remaining actors themselves. Not good in acting, but he was surely imposing the fact that he is the bigger star on set.

Complete waste of time.

Move on from this one.

There was a bit of this mediocrity and corniness throughout the Wu Assassins series, but overall the series was much more watchable and cooler than this wrap-up movie! :-(
