Likes : I first saw this film on a trailer which i actually thought it looked a pretty good film, but apoun viewing the film i wouldn't say dispointed in the film it dose have its quality in action & fighting but curtain aspects of the film were putting me off watching it.

 i can say this China is renowned for delivering outstanding martial arts movies from time to time, which would be an understatement, but sadly this is anything but a little over rated, Wolf Warrior, does not continue the tradition of most martial art film's in action which is shame because this film could have been better.

 Though the words 'breathtaking martial arts' appears on the top of the dvd art ,ive got to be honest in saying that this to assure viewers of this statement is inaccurate to what the film is showing . It is unfortunate the fight sequences failed to convey anything original, however, the addendum that these scenes only comprise less than five minutes of the feature's entirety, only add to the film failures.



Dislikes : The one problem this film had was the lack of option to select the speaking language option's because one minute the film is speaking chinese with english subtitles then speaking english, it jump back & forth between this i feel the film should of been english dub as an option with normal chinese language as the default for the film .

With the subtitle moving so fast you find yourself watching the subtile more than the film itself which took the focus away from the film which is a bad move for the film unless your hard of hearing. The film felt more slap stick action than a serious film which is a shame because this could have been so much more than what it is.


Overall : Not the greatest film, but its ok for a one time view or just avoid the film altogether.


Rating: 3.2 out of 5 for entertainment / 4.2 out of 10 for concept.
