  Just finished watching this film. If you love action with sword fighting and lots of blood. This film is for you. Just leave your brain at the door its not needed. Ñ

• Who is this BRUCE KAHN?

  Awesome fight choreography! The fights scenes are great especially the final one. That is the best I've seen in films for awhile. The story itself is silly and the rest of the cast are terrible actors. The 'Mom & Daughter' parts can be skipped. I'm going to see this again just for the fights.

• I'm conflicted...

  On the one end, i really enjoyed the action, but on the other end, the acting, plot, story, and characters were just dull. But... I couldn't tell if this movie was attempting to be a comedy, or an action flick? The jokes in the movie fell flat for me... The spattering of English dialogue was really weird, the whole side story with the mother and daughter was pointless at best, and didn't add anything to the movie or the story. A lot of the characters were just weird and irrational. So I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to take this film seriously or if it's trying to be silly. But, with that all being said, if you want a pointless action flick with good fighting in it. I'd definitely say give it a go, the fight scenes make it worth the watch.

• One of the best martial arts films in recent memory

  As a huge purveyor of action and martial arts cinema, I started this film with skepticism. I've pretty much seen it all, from Bruce Lee and Gordan Liu to prime Jackie, Jet and Donnie, to American stars like Van Damme.Seagal, to recent stars like Iko and Adkins. With that stated, this film is a much needed throwback to the days of prime Jet Li, ala Fist of Legend. Gone is the shaky cam and the quick camera cuts that ruin so many action films in America today. This movie consists of tremendous, steady camera work that allows you to see all the incredible, bone-crunching moves. Bruce Khan is exceptionally talented and lightning fast - it's stunning that this is his first starring role. The fight are tremendously choreographed and there are fights that encapsulate everything - 1 vs 1, 1 vs group, weapons battles and 2 vs 1. There are even badass women to top it all off. The action isn't the only thing that's golden either - the acting is great and it's full of laugh-out-loud humor. The Revenger is my favorite martial arts film since The Raid 2 and my favorite Netflix original film thus far. If you are a fan of action cinema, you absolutely don't want to miss it.

• Outstanding action movie.

  I don't know why this doesn't have more reviews and why the lead actor isn't in more movies. This is one of the best action movies i've seen in a long time. Someone is dropping the ball by not putting Bruce Khan in more movies.
