The (Non) Masked (Home) Cinema 2022 - Fistful of Vengeance

Fistful of Vengeance is the Netflix feature film follow up to Wu Assassins season one.

Starring Iko Uwais, Lewis Tan, Lawrence Kao, JuJu Chan, Pearl Thusi, Francesca Corney, Jason Tobin, Rhatha Phongam and Simon Kuke.

The film landed February 17, 2022, on Netflix. I watched it over two sittings on the weekend. It was average AF.

Fistful of Vengeance will see the Wu Assassin team reunite in Bangkok to avenge the death of one of their own, only to find that their new enemy is an ancient threat armed with otherworldly powers.


I remember enjoying the martial arts in season one of Wu Assassins, so that element was fine. However the acting, storyline, dialogue was fairly lame AF.

I am not a fan of Netflix original films usually. I don't know I am old school, I prefer seeing a film at the cinema, made for cinema. So many of these Netflix films seem to just get created to add quantity over quality on the worlds biggest streamer.

Lewis Tan is handsome AF, however not even him in a white tightly fitted singlet can save this film. At just over an hour and a half, at least it doesn't over stay its welcome.

Fistful of Vengeance streams now on Netflix, whilst also streaming now on Netflix is Snowpiercer, episodes weekly, Inventing Anna, Bridgerton season two (soon) and the OG season one of Wu Assassins.

Until next time. Good night.
