Then a big martial arts fight happened, which I'm not into, so I gave up on it. I figured it was just some direct-to-video Asian movie so I thought no more about it.
Out of the blue, my wife mentioned this weekend that she wanted to see it, and said that it's getting very good reviews. I had no idea, because I'd just blundered into it. So I may have to give it another try.

I will say that the fighting gets more and more ridiculous as the movie goes on. Not in the stereotypical martial arts movie way, instead a plot device causes the characters to try to find more and more bizarre actions to take in combat in order to be more effective. That's how the movie goes. Very unconventional. I'm trying to avoid spoilers but there is one scene that is just perfect...
