  Bomb Disposal Officer: Baby Bomb

  3.0
  Action, Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  The comedy is hit-and-miss and as it takes up the majority of the running time, it slows the pace right down after a promising start.

  The Witch: Part 2. The Other One

  4.0
  Action, Horror, Sci-Fi  •  South Korea

  Park Hoon-Jung certainly knows how to craft action but he also imbues the film with a dark tone, slow build tension, and a subtly cool vibe that contributes to the atmosphere and world building.

  Drunken Master Su Qier

  2.5
  Action, Martial Arts  •  China

  The action ranges from the adequate to the quite good – hardly a ringing endorsement, I grant you – but suffers from that same curse of poor wirework.

  Hunt

  3.5
  Action, Thriller  •  South Korea

  Perhaps too overly convoluted, po-faced and twist happy for its own good, ‘Hunt’ is nevertheless mounted with impressive verve and if one can forgive its flaws, is an exhilarating action charged political thriller.

  New Kung Fu Cult Master

  3.5
  Action, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Wuxia  •  Hong Kong

  ‘New Kung Fu Cult Master’ isn’t a great film, maybe not even a very good one, but there’s enough strengths here to make you eager to watch the second part.

  Speed Dating

  3.5
  Action, Comedy, Short  •  UK

  ‘Speed Dating’ is a fast and funny short blast of action-comedy that nicely sets proceedings up for a potential full-length feature – which would be very welcome.
