Once Upon A Time In Shanghai

This was a 2014 remake of Boxer From Shantung and it was pretty good. It stars Philip Ng, Andy On, and Sammo Hung, all martial artist and choreographers.  As if that weren't enough credentials, it's choreographed by Yuen Woo-Ping so the action is definitely pretty solid. The film is shot in a muted down, sepia color and the action sequences are very stylized. With the story centered on the invasion of China by Japan, Ng does get a chance to do his version of Bruce Lee taking on the Japanese. Great acting it's not, but there's no surprise there.  But, Once Upon A Time In Shanghai does get a refreshing face lift for a kung fu movie.
