If you haven’t heard of Roku, check it out: Roku Express 4K+ | Roku Streaming Device 4K/HDR, Roku Voice Remote, Free & Live TV

My family dropped our expensive satellite dish service and switched to Roku many years ago and have saved a TON of money! I highly recommend it!

The story is about a former DEA agent and a former undercover operative who revisit their romance during a fateful weekend in Taipei, Taiwan.

The action film was directed by George Huang. He also co-wrote it with Luc Besson.

THINGS I LIKED:
I’ve been a big fan of Luke Evans for years. He’s convincing in action movies, comedies, and even musicals!
Other cast members include Sung Kang, Lun-Mei Gwei, and Wyatt Yang.
We get to spend time in Taipei. I’ve been to Asia many times, but still haven’t had the opportunity to visit Taipei yet. What a fantastic location for an exciting film.
We also get to spend a couple of minutes in Paris. I was just there last summer!
We see some gorgeous cars, particularly a Ferrari. Sadly, a lot of them crash and get destroyed.
Many of the fight sequences are humorous and well choreographed.
The soundtrack is a lot of fun.
You might get a kick out of a fight scene in a movie theater. A Zhang Yimou martial arts movie plays on the screen while two men fight in front of it. An old lady in the audience asks, “Is this a 3D movie?” ha ha
Shoutout to the Marriott hotel.
There is a lot of humor, which shows the movie is self-aware and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Keep watching during the final credits for some cute photos that tell you what happens next.

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:
It’s super convenient that everyone in Taipei speaks English. Ha ha
Some of the scene transitions were super choppy.
Some of the acting isn’t very good.
Some of the stunts made me laugh out loud because they were so ridiculous. Cool, but ridiculous.
Most of the characters are unrelatable.
