Best of the Best

CriticsCritics: 30
AudienceAudience: 6.6

A group of American martial artists is selected to face Korea’s formidable team in a Tae Kwon Do tournament. Under a demanding coach, the mismatched fighters must set aside rivalries, confront personal struggles, and learn to function as one team before stepping into the ring.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like earnest underdog sports stories, team-bonding drama, and old-school martial arts action, but Not for you if you want nonstop fights or a polished, subtle script.
