As an action fan, I've seen some real dreck. But this was actually a pretty well made thriller.

Sure it has its fair share of tropes, the fights aren't the most impressive I've seen, and I saw the twist coming a mile off, but it was coherent and well-paced and kept me engaged. After having just seen Norris in Slaughter in San Francisco and Lee in Starship Invasions, An Eye for An Eye was a relief!

(NB brief but delightful hamming from Stuart Pankin.)

Missed watching it in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon, caught up with it later.

I could understand and enjoyed Part 1. But in Part 2, maybe because I was a bit sleepy, maybe because I waited a week between watching the two parts, maybe because there was so much time travel, body swapping, reincarnation, love triangles, sisters & sisters-in-law etc, I just could not keep track of who was who, who was in love with who and so on. Until I just couldn't care anymore. 🤷‍♀️
