Review of Four Dragons

Four Dragons (2008)
3/10
Stop screwing around with the fights!
16 September 2009
Four guys (Blaze, Tiger, Ace and Dragon) work at a tin mining operation. When they decide to see the boss about their bad working conditions, the boss plans for the entire crew to be offed cuz paying slave wages isn't as bad as having people talking bad about you. Naturally, our four heroes barely survive and then plot their revenge. Bandied about as Malaysia's first martial arts film, it might also be their last thanks to some unwise choices by director C.L. Hor. The four leads are pretty good fighters but the director does them an incredible disservice by doing stupid camera/editing tricks every two seconds in the fights. Worst of all, he inserts this cartoon blood (yeah, cartoon) that explodes anytime someone gets hit. Dumbest editorial decision I've seen since Uwe Boll editing in clips from the game in HOUSE OF THE DEAD.
