'The Marvels' is Actually One of the Best Marvel Movies, No Matter What the Critical Majority Says
This may be controversial… but 'The Marvels' is actually one of the best movies in the MCU. 10 reasons why 'The Marvels' killed it.
One Night in the Capital City
How far would a man go for money, women and power and who would he betray? How much would a woman sacrifice for love? Nine, daughter of a triad boss, travels to Beijing in a bid to win back her boyfriend, Chung, refuting the suspicion that he’s absconded with the gang’s money. With the camera trained on her wide-eyed face, Nine leads Chung on a whirlwind adventure through the capital’s sinister underbelly where their paths cross with those of low-life thugs, each having a role to play in a clever ruse to ferret out a snitch. With 10 million dollars at stake, emotions are running high and tension is taut and each puff of smoke is harrowing.
