Naked Soldier (2012)
5/10
Solid all-action fighter

I'm not sure why this is disliked or marked down (I tend to mark lower than average and I'd expect to see this with maybe 6.2). Direction, acting and camera-work are generally fine, but nothing special, as you'd expect in this type of film. You either like Sammo Hung or you don't - for me, he's fine. I watched a dubbed version and, unlike what's been said about the subtitled one, the dialogue was OK.

Where the movie scores though: Cory Yuen, as ever, does an excellent job of the action scenes, and there are lots of them, some reasonably inventive and, yes, very violent if that bothers you. Not sure if these actors really know kung fu, but they look like they do. My favourites were the hot-tub fight against the black guy, and the semi-comedy guy with the hat at the end.

Perfectly solid entertainment for anyone who likes a lot of fast and competently handled action. Watch and enjoy.
