I don't have any patience for this stuff.

When it becomes "popular", I immediately become suspect that it's not the Real Thing, but some kind of culturally diluted concoction, that panders to be "popular". If I want the Real Thing, I know where to go, and I don't need something to become stylish, to "tell" me it's "good".

Just looking at a few minutes of this film, and you can tell it's highly stylized, to the absurd point of trivializing the genre.

Who really finds it genuinely entertaining ? I would rather see a good Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan film, than this stuff, any day.
