Man of Tai Chi (2013)

A very deft film. Proficient fight scenes, tightly choreographed and performed, cleanly directed; minimal but effective script and performances; slick and stylish direction.
The only drawbacks are that the script is essentially a procession of tropes, and that the film occasionally shows tantalising glimpses of a slightly wilder direction which it eventually pulls back from.
Rating: Good
