Not for me BUT
Amazing choreography and fighting scenes
Good performance from Keanu, i don’t know why he doesn’t do bad guy characters often
He should direct more, this being his first is certainly not bad at all
The final fight should’ve been netted, but i really liked how Donaka lost the fight and yet won in his own way
Basically he did a Karrion Kross, lose and then turn the good guy heel

*" The universe is blind to our pain and deaf to our sorrows.
*All things have their way. "
a young martial artist enters the underground fight world .
the fights are fluid and intense , and Keanu Reeves brings a dark, compelling presence as the promoter.
the story blends action with questions of ambition and morality , giving it more depth than a typical martial arts movie.

Definitely could’ve been better, storyline and everything was nice however as much as I love Keanu, this has to be on the bottom if I ranked his movies from best to worst. Maybe it’s me but definitely this movie had the potential, but lacked many points.
