Drunken Fist

Right, well with an English title such as "Drunken Fist", then I have to admit that I was expecting this movie to at least include the drunken Kung-Fu style martial arts.

Then imagine my surprise when that particular style of Kung-Fu wasn't used in the movie. Talk about feeling cheated and talk about false advertising in the title.

The storyline in "Drunken Fist" was a generic era-set martial arts movie. You are not going to be in for anything grant, extraordinary or even particularly entertaining for that matter. The narrative was slow paced, and there simple wasn't enough happening throughout the course of the 79 minutes that the movie ran for. And the wooden character gallery didn't exactly help to sell the movie either.

The acting performances in the movie were mediocre. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Again, if you have seen any old era-based martial arts movie, then you have essentially already seen what will be presented on the screen here. It was generic and bland.

The martial arts sequences in "Drunken Fist" were actually adequate, at least the movie had that going for it.

All in all, director Yinghua Fang delivered a very bland and generic martial arts feature with this 2021 movie. It is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

My rating of "Drunken Fist" lands on a four out of ten stars.
