Critic Reviews
Kung Fu Jungle (2014) Review: Fights Beat the Procedural
★★★☆☆
Kung Fu Jungle pits Donnie Yen against a killer who hunts martial-arts masters. The duels are superb; the police thriller wrapped around them is routine.
It depends. Martial-arts fans will enjoy its inventive duels and genre tributes, but viewers after a gripping crime thriller will find the story thin.
