Okay, I would not have expected that level of fight action from the title. I could see it having bashery mob brawls. I'm down for this.

Just like @ShaOW!linDude, I was pretty surprised by the trailer. However, it does come off as a mostly gangster drama with maybe two or three fight scenes. I don't see it being all that action heavy.

I'll definitely give it a watch though.

Pretty insane to think that this hit chinese streaming in January '23! If I'd feel malicious I'd say Well Go is picking these up a dime a dozen. Definitely an interesting business model that's for sure. Trailer looks OK.

They seem to be picking some of the better ones to get the rights too, though I'm stumbled and put out some duds too. I hope they can get the Fight Against Evil films ans Eye for an Eye 2.

I'd be curious how they go about this. I can't imagine they really need to pay a lot for these. As I said earlier "dime a dozen" IMHO. Also they're only work, not trying to downplay or anything is the english subtitles. So again it is a VERY interesting business model.
