  Fist Of The Condor

  3.0
  Action, Martial Arts  •  Chile

  While the film does deliver ample bouts of impressive fight action, the film gets a little bogged down in its own seriousness and slipshod back-and-forth timelines.

  Time Still Turns The Pages

  4.0
  Drama  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Time Still Turns the Pages’ is a film that intends to create necessary debate about the next generation and their mental health – it achieves its aim with skill and humanity.

  Executioners

  3.0
  Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Executioners’ carries over the comic book vibe of the previous instalment but ladens on the seriousness and melodramatics this time around.

  Sanshiro Sugata

  4.0
  Action, Adventure, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Japan

  It’s rough around the edges to be sure, but there’s much to be savoured here; Kurosawa gets more out of this condensed 80 minutes than many filmmakers get from three hours or so.

  The Heroic Trio

  4.0
  Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi  •  Hong Kong

  Don’t think about it too much, just go along for the ride and bask in the beauty and talent of the incredible action scenes and the trio of leading ladies.

  Two Jolly Cops

  1.5
  Action, Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Two Jolly Cops’ starts with a modest spark, but pours a bucket of water on this immediately; what follows is ninety minutes of utter boredom.
