Quick Review: A pseudo-biopic that is neither a profound character study, nor a proper martial arts flick, this is a lazy effort that instead of doing justice to its iconic character, it depicts Bruce Lee as a cocky jerk with zero likability, poorly portrayed by Philip Ng. Boring and completely joyless until the a bit more energetic final act, "Birth of the Dragon" does not shine even in terms of action, with the fight scenes ranging from generic to uninspired both execution and choreography-wise.
