If you enjoy Donnie Yen’s IP Man franchise you’ll really enjoy this well-written and beautifully directed spin-off, which if anything is even better. The flying fists this time belong to Jin (Max) Zhang, who makes an engaging hero even in the dramatic scenes. Muscling in on the action are also Michelle Yeoh and gentle giant Dave Bautista, who make formidable foes. Even Tony Jaa puts in a guest appearance to strut his stuff. The plot and acting are more involving than in most Hong Kong martial arts films and the action doesn’t disappoint. There’s an eye-popping balletic fight on the side of a building and a series of explosive confrontations between the principal characters. Watch and wonder.
