    Man of Tai Chi: 8/10

     

    Man of Tai Chi marks Keanu Reeves first and only directed movie. It's an interesting style and a slight homage to kung fu movies. Keanu Reeves plays a rich dude named Donaka Mark who runs an underground fighting ring in China. The fights are high stakes (at least eventually) ending in the combatant being asked to finish the other opponent and refusal to do so ends in your death as well. So Donaka has his eye on a pure fighter Tiger Chen (played by Tiger Chen) that uses Tai Chi as his fighting style. Through some manipulation he's able to get him on board in his fight club.

    The interesting part of Tai Chi is it's not a traditional fighting style and something the relies on balance to defeat the opponent. Balance is a pretty big theme in the movie not only does it apply to the fighting style but the nature of the character as the film progresses. Heck even Tiger's master represents the Yin and Donaka the Yang. Fighting is a big part of the movie and it delivers on almost endless fighting. The fight choreography is quite good and not something you see a lot of these days at this type of quality. In any case it's a fun straightforward movie that respects the source material. When is the next Keanu Reeves directed movie?

    You might like Syndicate, it’s the best of the original style Assassin’s Creed games since Brotherhood IMO. It’s better than Revelations, Assassin’s Creed III, Black Flag, Rogue and Unity. At least I think so anyway. It’s one of my favorite games in the series.

     

    I might, I might not. I'm not really a fan of the "modern day" setting of Assassin's Creed. The game was most interesting to me the older the time period was. That being said I'm pretty sure I have it on Xbox so one day I might play it.

    It was ok in Assassin’s Creed III, but I could have done without it. It needed to be scaled back in Black Flag as there was too much of an emphasis on it. It was just right in Odyssey, and added to the overall experience IMO.

     

    Black Flag was the last AC I played and never finished it. It was barely an Assassin's Creed game.

    CD Projekt has confirmed that those who purchased the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X console, which includes Cyberpunk 2077's first expansion, Phantom Liberty, will get a "reimbursement" as the DLC has now been cancelled on Xbox One.
