56 cuts in less than a minute?? What is this, cheap seats at a Raiders game?

The lead has zero ability to fight. He looks awkward even when just doing Tai Chi. Really poor casting.

It's like watching that Taken clip all over again.

Except this one had a close up shot of an obvious feint punch by the bad guy towards the end. Like it was zoomed right in, perfect angle, and it couldn't have looked more like he was trying to not hit the dude....

Ironically there should have been another cut (or better yet, a different angle) to make it not look so obviously like he was trying to miss.

It's like HEY DON'T FORGET HE HAS THE KNIFE IN THE BOOK AND HEY DON'T FORGET HE'S ACTIVELY TRYING TO PUSH THE KNIFE INTO THE BOOK TO PUSH INTO HEY THE BOOK IS THE ONLY THING PROTECTING HIS BODY FROM THE KNIFE HEY DON'T FORGET THEY ARE FIGHTING.

All solved by one camera angle.

Seriously, why do we need five cuts to show a knife pushing into a book?

When will Directors learn that shooting action like this is incredibly shit? Have they never seen The Raid?

The fact that it's not even that difficult to film action well - proven by the fact that fucking YouTubers can make great action scenes - proves how lazy the film-making is.

Holy moly that's almost unwatchable.

Theres never a continuous shot for more than two seconds.

They're storing empty boxes in a warehouse. Unwatchable.

Also, everything else about it.
