Wu Jing's record-breaking Chinese-produced action-adventure gives audiences plenty of bang for their bucks.

Wolf Warrior 2 lectures you, pummels you, and then expects you to cheer.

Wolf Warrior 2 is even bigger and bolder than its predecessor, which doesn't always work in its favor. But genre fans will definitely relish the near constant barrage of elaborate set pieces that are choreographed and filmed for maximum impact.

The underused Grillo does get to wipe the smirk off the face of Wu's cocky yet charmless hero in their eventual showdown, but it's small consolation in a film that signs off with the promise of a further, interminable sequel.
