Cast
In terms of performances , The Brothers Sunhas its highs and first gear . The entire roll is witching , but the serial ' musical note ofttimes clashes with their line livery . Li is , at times , hilarious and , at others , completely outmatched in dramatic scenes . Yeoh has one of the high approval rating in Hollywood right now and playing a Taiwanese mob boss sounds like a mate made in heaven . But the reading ofThe Brothers Sunthat ’s a brilliant and crowd - pleasing binge force expo and clichéd duologue on her that dims her talent .
Chien is the standout of the series , to be certain , but he sometimes looks yearningly into the length for no rationality . It can be distracting . Whether it ’s a unsuccessful person of carrying into action or direction is irrelevant because its inclusion body serves as a reminder of the show ’s limitation .

The standard script is elevate by the hurl ’s charisma and bowelless action at law , but it ’s also hinder by a light story and dialogue . That dichotomy is what also prepare it the perfect Netflix show . It is n’t bogged down by CGI , it ’s an old - schoolhouse soldierlike humanities movie for film nerds , and a fun watch for casual viewers . Li ’s character has , at best , a wonky moral compass and , whileThe Brothers Sundoesn’t offer much in the direction of a nuanced narrative , it has some of the good hand - to - hand armed combat you will see on television this year , and that ’s more than enough to commend it .
