Crazy Fist

About This Movie

Crazy Fist has this gritty, raw energy that feels very authentic for an MMA film. Li Dong-Hao directs with a keen eye for the brutal reality of fighting, but it also delves into the emotional aftermath, giving it more depth than the usual action fare. The pacing is tight, especially in the first half, as it slowly builds the protagonist's world and his internal struggle. The performances are solid—especially the lead, who brings a weight to his character that feels earned. The fight choreography is impressive, with a mix of practical effects that ground the action, as opposed to relying heavily on CGI. It’s not just about the fists; it’s about the fallout from those punches, which gives it a distinctive angle in the genre.
