Review of Dragon

For martial arts film fans, the action here designed by Donnie himself are very satisfying and quite refreshing but don't expect an action-packed film because the emphasis here is mostly on the story and characters. There's not a whole lot in the first half but once the second half kicks in you'll be offered to some very good moments of martial arts choreography. Since SPL came out, Donnie's way of choreographing action scenes have seen alot of hype, praise and comparisons to other action stars and kept the momentum up in other films such as Flash Point (which is still his most talked-about work to date). Donnie has done pretty well in recent years as well with Legend of the Fist and proved himself to be as successful choreographing action in period action films as he does in contemporary action films with The Lost Bladesman. In this film, he shows us what he can do with martial arts choreography in correlation to the strength and visuals of storytelling, for which something new with the action has been accomplished. If there's one choreographer that has complexity, variety and overall creativity of another level today and keeps evolving his craft, it's Donnie
