Streaming giveth and it taketh away. The end of September is nigh, which means that a bunch of movies and TV shows are leaving streaming services (or simply shuffling around). Last Chance Binge is here to remind you that the clock is ticking on some excellent titles.
My top selection is The Grandmaster, a gorgeous martial arts action movie starring Tony Leung, who recently made his Hollywood debut in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — and essentially stole the movie out from the lead.
Shang-Chi introduced many mainstream moviegoers to the charismatic Tony Leung, the veteran Hong Kong movie star. And the Marvel film would not have worked as well as it did without Leung’s magnetic performance as Xu Wenwu. His final scene illustrates why he’s known as “the man who speaks with his eyes” in China.
