Kun Chen (Rise of the Phoenixes) lives as an outcast with a bunch of CGI critters after being falsely accused of betraying his Ying-Yang brotherhood - until an opportunity arises to unmask the real culprit & defeat the demon beast. There's a lot packed into the run time - a love interest, side character story arcs & a lot of CGI action. None of it bad, but it's a time-sucking distraction from the main storyline. Everything feels rushed & I found it hard to care. Kun Chen has a great screen presence, but this script doesn't give him enough to work with.

Terrific time-capsule comedy from post WWII London with a star-studded cast. 80 years later, the Blitz is firmly entrenched in the public imagination as the ultimate test of British character, against a foreign adversary. But the people's adversary in port to Pimlico (just 4 years after the war) is their own Government. A charming if bleak reminder that the British character (to the extent that such a thing exists) has been continuously tested by the nation's rulers against its own people. And of course the weather. The greatest triumph of British character, evident here, being the ability to laugh at it all.

Ann Sheridan stars as the woman on the run. Technically her husband (Ross Elliott) is the man on the run, but he's in hiding. It's Sheridan who does the running - with Dennis O'Keefe & Robert Keith in pursuit. Her character is enjoyably hard-boiled with some great dialogue. The film opens in suitably noir fashion with a shadowy night-time shooting & ends with a thrilling roller coaster ride. Nicely paced & neatly wrapped up in 77 minutes. It's good!
