a review of 斧头

Thrilling, and funny in ways I didn't expect. And it has what is probably my second favorite fight scene from the last 12 months (Splitsville's (2025) juuuuust ekes out the win). (I think calling it a fight scene might be a little off, but there's definitely a scramble and a scuffle that happens that I absolutely loved, so whatevs.) There's a tertiary story line in the middle that made the length of the movie feel palpable to me, but everything else is so good that it's almost forgivable. Almost.
