Donnie yen comes back in this film as a teacher. A great and wonderful teacher for certain reasons at that.
He does a wonderful job at potraying someone wise and witty and has gone through a lot of stuff for his age and he shows that he truly wishes to teach his students well.
The film's plot itself might be a little overused and cliche, but it's still a fun and sad film to watch. I would have given the film 9 stars just for Donnie Yen's performance. 8 stars because of the film's plot.
However, the film is still riddled with multiple action scenes, true to Donnie Yen's nature. The fights are exciting and unique as it incorporates modern day popular sports as well as some of Jackie Chan's famous prop fighting that adds to comedy.
Overall, it's 8.5/10 for me. 8 because there's no 8.5 but it's not so good that it deserves a 9.
