The Iranians' picture is generally good, there are interesting angles, and the filming points are also very clever, for example, at 0:59. And the music is clear and on the level. But the choreography in the style of “hit me, because I’m all tired of waiting” is already boring. Game of giveaways. And it seems to me that you can’t use tricking strikes so often, especially in rapid. That is, let there be blows and let there be spectacular rapids, but only less often. Not so often. Otherwise it depreciates.
Here you either need to do one long slow-motion scene with sustained, even dynamics, or alternate this rapid and jump with hard explosive action with rapid editing. In theory, the authors chose the latter option, but there is not enough hard and fast action, sometimes it turns out to be a rather slow fuss and a loose exchange of blows at 0:50 - 0:57 or 1:08, and at 1:13 - 1 :16 it’s a total failure, that’s what the main character is waiting for?? Why doesn’t he rush to finish off? It’s clear to us that he’s waiting for the enemy to strike and is even putting his hands in advance, and this is “false.”
The Iranians are putting together some good movement, check it out.
