What the critics say

The Kung Fu Master's Wing Chun style action choreography and physical performances from its leads win over several critics, but nearly everyone agrees the script, characters and dialogue are thin or clichéd, with a slow first half.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 5 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
