‘Crying Fist’ feels fresh and exciting thanks to the considerable skills of its director, the novel use of two storylines happening at the same time and the excellent performances of the leads.

‘Illang’ looks fantastic, often thrills, and features some incredible and expertly staged action but suffers from pacing issues and a lukewarm emotional core.

‘Roaring Currents’ is either a fascinating piece of edutainment or a tiresome trawl through 16th-century warfare, depending on your interest in the subject matter.
