To save a girl, one guy takes on small village worth of people, but its a nice showcase for the silat martial art.

Fight Club
This is hard to write because its not something you’re supposed to talk about. There is fighting, substance, humor, there’s a story here, and they do something magical no movie has done before.

Raze
This movie is for you if you want some quick, brutal violence but the story is dull and there’s nothing else to cling to.
The Outsider
I went into this movie with anticipation and as the credits rolled the greatest accomplishment of the movie was how out of place Jared Leto felt throughout it. Its labeled on Netflix as a “slow burn” and it never ignites.
Rampant
Rampant is a tough movie to really place here. Its not that its necessarily bad, but while the tale could have been told in thirty minutes less, the real issue is that Rampant and Kingdom are retellings of the same story, and Kingdom does it better in a different format. Rampant starts out with some great moments but never develops further and if you’ve seen Kingdom first, this will feel lacking.

Master Z: Ip Man Legacy
It gets really flashy from the get go to pull you in but doesn’t carry it well through the film. Its still a good movie, but it doesn’t feel like it should carry “Ip Man Legacy” with barely any Wing Chun on display.

Ip Man
The first Donnie Yen entry as Ip Man has all of the hallmarks of a great film. The story, action, emotion, and even musical score will draw you in if you have any interest in wing chun or the martial arts genre in general.

Marco Polo
Marco Polo is backed by both interesting characters and an intriguing story that serve to educate beneath the entertainment. The main let down is being left to wonder how a third season would have been.

Altered Carbon
As great a show as this goes on to become, it has a slow start outlining the elements that make up the world. Despite being interested since before its release, it took me four episodes to really get into it so if you can manage that, everything will be fine.
Sense8
I didn’t know what to expect going into this series but be it story, experience, understanding, action, and so much more, it all emanates from this in such a way that it became my favorite series to air on Netflix.
