At the age of four, Donnie started taking up martial arts from his mother who taught him tai chi and wushu until he was eleven when he moved to Boston, MA, with his family. From there, Donnie continued with tai chi and wushu but soon also began experimenting with various others martial art styles, such as taekwondo, kickboxing and boxing, after developing a huge interest in martial arts. When he was sixteen, his parents sent him to Beijing Wushu Academy so he could train Chinese MA under Master Wu Bin, well known as the coach of Jet Li. He underwent intensive training for three years. After those years passed by, he was about to leave back to the States, but made a side trip to Hong Kong, and there he was accidentally introduced to famous Hong Kong action director Woo-ping Yuen, who was responsible for bringing Jackie Chan to super stardom and was looking for someone new to star in his movies. Donnie was offered a screen test and thereafter a 4-picture deal after passing it; first starting with stunt doubling duty on the movie The Miracle Fighters before starring in his first film, Drunken Tai Chi, at the age of 19. He continued his early film career working independently with Woo-ping Yuen and at TVB, gaining more acting experience, and then started getting attention in the late 1980s and mid 1990s after he was offered a contract by the D&B Films Co. whom gave him major roles in the well known films Tiger Cage, In the Line of Duty 4 and Tiger Cage 2 which got his reputation spread out within the Hong Kong film circuit.

Donnie Yen Rocks!
Yet another excellent Donnie Yen film. Who cares if you need subtitles turned on. This is an international film and many other highly acclaimed foreign films are not spoken in the English language, thus the needed subtitles. A few of the incredibility good films from the IP Man series and others from him are not spoken in English either. I would MUCH rather read subtitles than hear some clown trying to lip-sink the words over the soundtrack. Spoiler alert: The final fight scene is second to none. Donnie Yen proved himself again with his absurdly professional choreographic skills. Very realistic fight scene with a good ending. Check out how many people it took to make this film on the end credits. Read up on this guy - He's very popular and good at what he does outside of his movie work as well. I give this film a high five and 2 thumbs up, subtitles and all. Bravo Donnie Yen! Encore! Encore!

Very Excellent
One of the best action movies made in my opinion.Donnie Yen is great as pretty much always.. but the villain story is compelling. A guy who lost his wife and all he has left is his anger and his unusual fighting skill.

Great fights.
It's a very good movie for its genre. I love that it doesn't have slow motion fights or people flying around. The movie kicks off (no pun intended) with the protagonist beating down 17 guys in a prison cafeteria. He hears the news of a murder on television and demands to speak to the investigator in charge of the case. He draws her attention by telling her the names of upcoming victims. The supporting martial artists in the movie do a fantastic job. Each fight has a unique angle, setting and motive. That's how the movie delivers so much action. It's not just a few fights or drawn out by training sequences. I reserve 5/5 stars for classics. This one is still a fun watch and earned every bit of 4/5 stars. Donnie Yen does a great job but I really applaud his costars in this one as well. People complaining about the movie not being dubbed in English and ranking it 1/5 stars are ridiculous. They are just salty. There's also no need to compare this movie to Donnie Yen's best work. You can just watch it and enjoy it. It's not an emotional roller coaster here people. It's an action movie.

Excellent displays of Martial Arts Fighting
Donnie Yen is the man! His 'IP Man' movies are my favorite martial arts movies. His fighting in'Kung Fu Killer' is his usual high quality display of his mastery of martial arts.I liked the build up to the final fight. Wang Baoqiang's character looks like an unstoppable killing machine while taking on various masters and defeating them all to the death !......that is until he goes up against Donnie Yen's character.

Another great action flick from Donnie Yen!
An excellent movie from start to finish! Great scene transition, viewer immersion qualities, outstanding audio and video, good English captioning for Cantonese language, lots of emotion and traditional movement. Very evident that nothing was spared in the budget including caliber of actors, directors, cinematographers, computer technicians, etc. It's true these days that movies have more than their fair share of computer-generated imagery and action shots but I was not disappointed by the work done here. I am a big fan of Hong Kong Cinema and Donnie Yen movies in particular and have been told by my friends that I'm often overly critical when it comes to this genre. However, I was definitely pretty stoked by everything I saw during the course of the film. I'll watch again in a few weeks to pick up what I may have missed, highly recommended!

Kung fu Criminal minds
The hunt for a killer targeting masters of different fighting styles begins when a famous boxer is found dead. A grandmaster in prison for manslaughter helps the police track down the killer before, he strikes again. Think a more action pack crime thriller.
