BIG BROTHER * (Theatrical Release China 2018)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Big Brother—great Hong Kong movie—pushes Donnie Yen into a quite different role than the expected martial arts/action roles he has played in the IP Man series. The movie has heart, good family values, and works for the teen/adult watch. Well-written story, easily earns its watch.
