Reuniting Donnie Yen and director Wilson Yip after the hugely successful S. P. L., Dragon Tiger Gate spins its tale out from the popular ’70s Oriental Heroes comics.
Combining frenetic action, CGI, wire-work, staggering athleticism and a dash of Sin City-esque styling, the film follows three fighters as they battle demons both personal and literal, offering the kinetic insanity only lamely delivered by the Matrix sequels.
