Critic Reviews
The Knockout (2023) Review: The Fishmonger's Empire
★★★★☆
The Knockout is China's sprawling 2023 crime saga about a stubborn cop and a fishmonger turned gang boss, powered by Zhang Songwen's mesmerising, star-making villain.
Yes, with reservations. A gripping, epic-scale crime drama for fans of gangster sagas and slow-burn rivalries, though its later episodes feel rushed.
