Critics Review
It’s so tense that at times you have absolutely no idea what has just happened in the real world because you’re in The Fu, entirely. You feel every blow, every break. And what a climax … I want to tell you all about it so that I can discuss with you how wonderful, tragic and ultimately cathartic it was … but I won’t. You’ll just have to keep a strong stomach and see for yourself * Independent on Sunday *
Ryan Gattis’s homage to the world of martial arts is a way-cool, direct and stylish romp of fiction that feels very real … A modern, violent epic of teenage kicks in the school of hard knocks. Kung Fu is a bloodied white-knuckle ride that never forgets the consequences of its actions * The List *
