  Golden Job

  3.5
  Action, Adventure, Crime  •  Hong Kong

  Working with what is probably a minimal budget by Hollywood standards, Chin Ka-Lok fashions quite an impressive action film, complete with international locations and slick looking set-pieces.

  Maria

  2.5
  Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller  •  Philippines

  A B-movie with some bite, ‘Maria’ stumbles with its by-the-numbers story and unnecessary scenes of torture but is saved by some cool fight scenes and a fierce lead performance from Cristine Reyes.

  Out For Blood

  2.0
  Action, Martial Arts  •  USA

  ‘Out For Blood’ was clearly inspired by other (better) vigilante movies but it never really comes close to accomplishing anything that stands out from the crowd.

• 

  Europe Raiders

  2.0
  Action, Comedy, Thriller  •  Hong Kong

  Unfortunately for Jingle Ma, ‘Europe Raiders’ is dated in a way that the nearly twenty years old ‘Tokyo Raiders’ isn’t, a production old before its time despite the 2018 bells and whistles.

• 

  The Wandering Earth

  3.0
  Action, Drama, Sci-Fi  •  China

  Despite a rushed prologue setting up what is going on and the issues Liu and his son have, the filmmakers have still created an incredible futuristic and lived in world with a combination of slick CGI and colossal sets.

  Revenge Of Drunken Master

  1.0
  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong, South Korea

  A film that gives the viewer the experience of rolling down a hill in a barrel full of dirty razor blades without having to leave one’s home.
