The film is a sequel to the television series "Wu Assassins," and the main characters from that programme also feature in this film. Lu Xin Lee (Lewis Tan) and Tommy Wah (Iko Uwais) are friends of Kai Jin (Iko Uwais), a chef in San Francisco who is the modern inheritor of an old, magical combat tradition (Lawrence Kao). After the unexplained murder of Tommy's sister, Jenny, in the sequel, the pals are on the hunt for answers. A talisman discovered alongside her body is their only clue.
The party travels to Thailand in search of solutions, where they meet billionaire developer William Pan (Jason Tobin). Pan says that Jennie's death was part of a wider conspiracy orchestrated by his twin sister, Ku An Qi (Rhatha Phongam), the Bangkok underworld's ruler, who seeks to connect the ying and yang talismans. Kai intends to put a stop to the conspiracy on his own, but his buddies insist on fighting alongside him as he hunts down the culprits.
The appeal of the film is simple: there are multiple moments of well-choreographed combat, with each cast member following Uwais, a martial artist, as an example. However, Roel Reiné, the filmmaker, muddles the action by depending on enigmatic legend to explain his characters' motivations, origins, and talents. Watered-down Taoist notions, which are more intellectually insulting than culturally hurtful, are designed to explain how Kai or his enemies use their abilities. As a result, there is little opportunity to get to know the characters as persons rather than vehicles for their mystical skills in the discourse.
The fight sequences lack cinematic impact due of their lack of tactical, philosophical, or emotional basis. Knives slash, bullets discharge, and fists collide. Every movement, though, feels insubstantial. The film, at its best and worst, evokes the sensation of seeing a stranger play with off-brand action figures.
