Jiu Jitsu (2020)
5/10
Really needs more work to be good
26 July 2021
I don't regret watching this film, but this is definitely not a perfect film at all.

My rating is 5 stars out of 10 because, like every film I watch, I always give them a chance to be good and see the positives.

The story overall was all right. I found it to be a simple story to follow.

Many reviewers criticize the main actor's lack of acting ability, but I think he should be cut some slack as he is known for performing stunts than acting.

Some transitions between scenes seem awkward as they are hard jumps to the story without much detail.

There was cinematography in one fight scene that was switching between first-person view and third-person view, which confused me a lot on which perspective I'm suppose to look at.

The comic relief, Tex, seem a little annoying too.

Without spoiling the film, there was a character whom I thought would have a larger role in the movie that just randomly died in the middle of the movie, and their character death wasn't provided with any emotional weight as if they didn't become relevant anymore & tossed out.

Overall, it's best to watch the film with low expectations.
