  The Legend And Hag Of Shaolin

  3.5
  Action, Comedy, Drama, Martial Arts  •  China

  Once it settles down and the MacGuffin doesn’t become the sole focus of the story, ‘The Legend and Hag of Shaolin’ becomes an enjoyable homage to early 90s Hong Kong cinema.

  The Swordsman Of All Swordsmen

  4.0
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Taiwan

  A somewhat straightforward, and at times melodramatic, narrative is given heft by the committed cast, stunning cinematography and set design, and fantastic swordplay action.

  Raid On Royal Casino Marine

  2.0
  Action, Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  Part three has none of the charm of the original and doesn’t even stack up well against the second part; this is a lazy, charmless affair that had me looking at the clock every couple of minutes.

  Mob Psycho 100: Reigen – The Miracle Psychic That Nobody Knows

  3.0
  Action, Animation, Comedy, Fantasy  •  Japan

  The new material alone isn’t really worth the time investment, while there are far too many missing elements for newcomers to make this their jumping-off point.

  Badland Hunters

  4.0
  Action, Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller  •  South Korea

  Slickly helmed by stunt guy and first-time director Heo Myung-Haeng, ‘Badland Hunters’ is some rollicking fun not to be taken too seriously.

  Men On The Dragon

  3.5
  Comedy, Drama, Sport  •  Hong Kong

  Each of the protagonists has their own trial to overcome, each has a solid character arc, and each contributes to the infectious enthusiasm created herein.
