MAN OF TAI CHI [2013]

The Chinese martial arts film, Man Of Tai Chi serves as actor Keanu Reeves' directorial debut.
It's a story about an underground fight club and...well...you can probably guess the rest from that alone.  As simple as the story and characters are, it's the wonderfully choreographed fight scenes that take center stage here.  Reeves has a great eye for photography as he makes use of all sorts of camera techniques, simple yet used to their maximum effect without distractions.  It's evenly paced plot never gets in the way of the fights and if that's what you're here for then you won't be disappointed...that is until the terribly corny third and final act that derails all the great fun we were having before that.
