Review
8.0
“This martial arts drama transcends genre expectations, focusing on a jiu-jitsu instructor's unwavering moral code amidst a world of deceit. Its compelling lead performance anchors a narrative that, despite some convoluted plot turns, delivers a surprisingly resonant emotional payoff. The film is a thoughtful character study, not an action spectacle.”
