An absolute martial arts hell with a decent romantic story, which moved and cut me all the time. There's plenty of action and it's one of the best in the genre. Very impressive and gritty choreography using multiple martial arts at once, in everything from capoeira to muay thai and kung fu. The main villain is charismatic, has bones of iron perhaps, and the likeable protagonists are impossible not to root for. Suspenseful, fast-paced, brilliantly shot. It's great on a silver platter. 90%

The return of diaspora filmmakers to Vietnam in the new millennium offers a precise mix of historical epic and fight movie with a national-awakening level, as popularised and perfected by Bruce Lee. The Rebel thematises national identity not only by making the Vietnamese martial art vovinam a spectacular attraction for the first time ever, but also through its overall narrative and its constituent motifs.
