The fight sequences are slick, but this is a soulless slog.

Sorely lacks supreme enlightenment.

It doesn't offer much enjoyable action, and doesn't convince in any way as a picture of what Lee's life was really like.

The story may descend into feel-good fantasy by the finish, but Corey Yuen's exciting fight choreography gives this unashamedly mainstream entertainment some convincing action chops.
