Average film. The action is unfortunately bad here, tae-kwon-do seems to me the least interesting martial art, so the fights are just weak, moreover it is played by the rules, so don’t expect any bone breaking, blood, or perfect choreography – the competition will trample this film like garbage. Fortunately, the film isn’t boring, has a few funny scenes, but I wouldn't watch it again. 55%
