My Review: The Fight Scene At The End of One Of The Daredevil Episodes

So, spoilers, Daredevil is a superhero. He solves his problems by punching. Punching, the occasional bit of kicking, some throwing, a few unnecessary flips, but then there was some more punching.

He's kinda Marvel's answer to Batman, except without the billionaire part or the playboy part or the being-able-to-see part. At least one of his parents died, but he didn't see it because of the being-able-to-see part. He's still motivated by guilt, and he's trying to clean up his city. But I'm not reviewing him.

He's also got a Netflix series, but I'm not reviewing that, either.

I'm just reviewing this one fight scene.

A single take, from the looks of it, that involves him beating up two rooms of mobsters, gasping for breath between fights, and is perhaps the greatest realisticish filmed fight scene since something Bruce Lee might have done. (Jackie Chan has great fight scenes, but they tend to rely on him being lucky and frantic. Bruce Lee was frugal. Daredevil was competent, which doesn't sound nearly as amazing as it was.)

If you've seen it? You know which fight scene I'm talking about. 10/10
