    8/10

    As others have complained, the first half can be boring just because it's mostly plot; however, once you get to 45 minutes in, expect an hour straight of kick-ass, blistering choreography. Don't blink! I was leaning towards a 7/10, but the action is just good enough that I bumped it up. Get that 88 Films blu-ray while it's available!
