  Send Me To The Clouds

  3.5
  Drama  •  China

  The two most striking things about ‘Send Me To The Clouds’ are the photography and the performance of actress Yao Chen.

  Paradox

  3.5
  Action, Crime, Drama, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  Hong Kong

  The third instalment in the ‘SPL’ franchise sees original director Wilson Yip return for another dark crime tale that doesn’t skimp on the nihilism or the hard edged fight action.

  A Lifetime Treasure

  2.0
  Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  It’s almost as if director Andrew Lam just got a few mates together for an exercise in tedium to prove how willing we are to forgive anything for a hit of nostalgia.

  Death Fighter

  2.5
  Action, Martial Arts  •  USA

  It’s nice to see Wilson and Rothrock back in action and there are some flashes of talent in amongst the fight scenes, but none of it is ever quite enough to overcome the film’s obvious faults.

  Master Z: Ip Man Legacy

  4.0
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Competently directed by the legendary Yuen Woo-Ping and utilising a decent budget, ‘Master Z’ is pleasingly straight-forward, action soaked entertainment.

  Dead Mine

  3.0
  Action, Horror  •  Indonesia

  This Indonesian B-movie horror never quite lives up to its awesome high-concept but has enough going for it to make it a swift, slick shocker.
