Sakra (2023) Review: Donnie Yen's Wuxia Epic in a Hurry

Sakra stars and is co-directed by Donnie Yen as Qiao Feng, the exiled hero of Jin Yong's wuxia saga, in a film with fierce fights and a badly compressed story.

It depends. Wuxia and Donnie Yen fans will enjoy the martial-arts set pieces, but viewers wanting a coherent, emotionally rich adaptation may find it rushed.
