SHAOLIN (Theatrical Release Hong Kong 2011)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Shaolin—exceptionally realistic fight scenes with flying scenes that are noticeably superior to flying scenes in other Chinese movies—relies on a great storyline and tells its story the way stories should be told. Good movie for Jackie Chan. Definitely worth its watch.
