Kung Fu Killer

2014's Kung Fu Killer (Kung Fu Jungle) stars Donnie Yen as a convicted ex police martial arts instructor who is released to help hunt down a serial killer (Wang Baoqiang) targeting martial arts experts.  Overall, it's a solid enough kungfu film with good use of a somewhat improbable plot and better than decent action scenes to move the story along.  As you would expect, Donnie also serves as the fight choreographer and so there's no surprise at the action quality.  At 52 years of age, Yen is still very viable and I give him much homage, especially in the last 8-10 years for keeping Hong Kong action movies viable, relevant, and always striving to maintain integrity and authentity to the martial arts genre. Much credit is also given to Wang Baoqiang for being formidable villain and martial artist to counter Yen.
