Vanity project starring some martial arts greats
19 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
ON THAT NIGHT... WHILE WE DREAM is presented as a martial arts showcase from China, starring the billionaire businessman Jack Ma as a Tai Chi expert who challenges and battles a number of martial arts masters in a bid for supremacy. It comes across as a vanity project, if I'm honest, and there's nothing likable about the smug Ma at all. However, this 20 minute effort is still worth a look for the fans. The fight themselves have good choreography, which you'd expect when Yuen Woo-ping and Sammo Hung are doing them. Secondly, a series of genuine greats including Tony Jaa, Wu Jing, Donnie Yen, and an ailing Jet Li all show up, and I'm happy to see them on screen whatever they're appearing in.
