  The Grand Grandmaster

  2.0
  Action, Comedy, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  ‘The Grand Grandmaster’ barely has enough good material for a TikTok clip though and it should be noted that this drudgery goes on for a full two hours.

  Crocodile Island

  Adventure, Disaster, Fantasy  •  China

  ‘Crocodile Island’ is deadly earnest which doesn’t quite work when characters are facing spiders the size of a shire horse.

  #Alive

  Buoyed by two incredible performances from the young leads the film offers a fun take on two youngsters in the digital age using their grasp of tech to help them survive.

  Double Dragon

  Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi  •  USA

  Bad fashion, hideous colours, crazy make-up effects and over-the-top acting make this video game adaptation a trash classic.

  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.

  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.
