  A City Called Dragon

  3.5
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts, Wuxia  •  Taiwan

  ‘A City Called Dragon’ is one of many 70s Taiwanese action films that deserve a wider audience and hopefully modest reviews like this can help.

  The Sandwich Man

  3.0
  Drama  •  Taiwan

  Overall this is an interesting, thoughtful collection of stories that shows promise. Yet it is once again a film whose historical significance leaves more of an impression than the material therein.

  Ip Man 4: The Finale

  3.0
  Action, Biography, Drama, History, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  This fourth go around for Yen and director Yip with the Ip saga is as solid as ever from the duo but pales in comparison to the first two instalments.

  Future Kick

  3.0
  Action, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi  •  USA

  Don Wilson is on good form and gets to strut his stuff in a few crunchy, punchy, round housing fight scenes including a brutal face off with Chris Penn come the finale.

  Blackbelt

  3.5
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  USA

  Along with all the sweet kickboxing action the flick crams in a fair chunk of graphic gore and a surprising amount of drama for a low budget B-movie.

  My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

  3.5
  Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi  •  Japan

  ‘Heroes Rising’ is a step in the right direction but it is still some way from being the ultimate ‘My Hero Academia’ movie.
