About This Movie

Kung-fu (1980) is an interesting blend of drama and social commentary, focusing on an engineer who's caught in a web of corporate politics. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for a slow burn that builds tension as he uncovers corruption related to bonuses. It's not flashy, but the practical effects used during the moments of tension add a gritty realism to the film. The performances are quite strong, with the lead portraying a man battling against the system in a relatable way. The dynamic between the protagonist and his journalist friend brings an added layer of camaraderie. You can feel the atmosphere of 1980s corporate America, filled with distrust and moral dilemmas that still resonate today. Definitely not your average kung fu flick, but it has its own unique charm.
