Yeah, the story in The Mystery of Chess Boxing is definitely generic, but the story in this movie is completely insignificant. You never really give a crap about the characterization of Ghost Face Killer, but instead, you'll be revisiting those amazing fight scenes. The fight scenes in this movie are incredible. The three main actors especially get to show off their acrobatic abilities. The opening alone should get you hooked. The almost nonstop action can sometimes get a bit tiresome, but for the most part, The Mystery of Chess Boxing proves to be an impressive and exciting movie.
*I decided to review this movie here instead of on SC36 mainly because there's already a review of it on the site.
