Keanu Reeves makes his directorial debut with this martial arts production starring Tiger Chen, a stunt veteran who worked with the actor of the two Matrix sequels. Yuen Woo Ping provides the fight choreography, with The Raid's Iko Uwais heading up the supporting cast.
Thought this looked good from the trailer - could be an entertaining actioner, though I get the feeling Reeves is trying to recapture his "Neo" persona for some reason
Looks quite good. There can never be too many fight tournament movies set in Asia.
Actually the film looked good already last summer when they released some begind the scenes footage of Reeves testing new camera techniques to capture action without CGI. The original video is gone, but you can see it as a part of this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5186tXz0cU
Though probably some kung fu film fan will complain that Keanu looks wooden... he does, just like 98% of Asian actors in similar movies.
