September  10, 2024 (NYC)The Mob (2024) is a Winner. The Mob (2024), is the latest Digital release from Well Go USA Entertainment.  It is a great martial arts, action film and worth seeing.

SYNOPSIS:

After the murder of its high-profile patriarch, the Zhou family seeks revenge against a ruthless rival clan moving to expand its own territory, sparking a brutal conflict between the warring families that throws Shanghai into chaos.

REVIEW:

The Mob (2024), is the latest Digital release from Well Go USA Entertainment, hitting US markets last week.  

This Chinese import is set in the backdrop of real circumstances that occurred in the late 1920’s in Shanghai, China.  In an area known as the “French Concession” there was a series of mafia-style gangs that, in fact, controlled, the territory.  The film invites us into this Mob underworld as tensions are about to climax over territorial control, and violations of the ban on Opium trade.

These tensions lead to a series of deaths and the violence, action, and drama proceed from here.

This amalgam of American Style Gangster films, and martial arts action, makes for a highly watchable and very well done movie.   The Mob is really, really good.

Chinese action films can, sometimes, suffer from confusing plots and sub-par fight choreography.   They rely, often, on poor visual effects, to make up for weak scripts and low budgets.    This film is diametric opposite.   The story is simple and easy to follow.    The characters are well defined, and their actors have a compelling screen presence.

This film is well scripted, and well directed.

The backdrop of “The Roaring Twenties” in Shanghai makes for a terrific setting for this mob infused, martial arts action romp.

The fight choreography and cinematography are first rate.  I really enjoyed watching these well choreographed, well executed, and well filmed fight scenes.

The Mob is one of the best action films I have scene this year coming out of the Chinese Market.  Hats off the Well Go USA for identifying it, and getting behind it.

The film’s climactic fight scene is well done and worth a second viewing.  This film rivals any gangster, or martial arts film you will see.

The Mob is highly recommended.  It is a violent film with adult content and themes.
