CONTENT REVIEW:
"Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li" is an explosive action-packed adventure set in the streets of Bangkok that is a touching story of the love between a father and his child who he tries to protect. It is a movie with many implications for our own lives and addresses issues such as LOVE, HONOR, GREED, EVIL, GOOD, REPENTANCE, REDEMPTION, CONFESSION, POVERTY, CORRUPTION, BLACKMAIL, POWER, MURDER, AND DEATH amidst the martial arts and gun violence.

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE MOVIE: (SPOILER ALERT)

Loved to see the love between a daughter and her dad & mom including the wonderful wisdom filled training Gen gave Chun. I also loved how Chun used her power for good instead of for evil.
