Overall, while Birth of a Dragon showcases Ng and Yu's talents and great action scenes that are sure to win over martial arts fans, having a Caucasian drive a story about two Asian martial artists just feels like a cinematic cop-out.

This cheaply produced and oddly unfocused drama is underwhelming in the extreme.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
Sadly, Birth of the Dragon does not shed any considerable revelations on the aura of Bruce Lee . There is simply no excuse for any full feature vehicle that aims to echo the magnetism of the boisterous Bruce Lee to come off as flat and flavorless

The Critical Movie Critics
[W]hat’s most striking about BIRTH OF THE DRAGON is how irreverent director George Nolfi and screenwriters Christopher Wilkinson and Stephen J. Rivele are willing to be toward Lee...
Los Angeles Times
Bruce Lee is presented as too full of himself, condescending, occasionally superficial, and in general, immature

Rating: 3/5 --
It's the usual trope-iary of stunts and oriental wisdoms, redeemed by stellar work in the main roles.

It wants to be a character study, an explication of martial arts philosophy and an action picture ... But the film never really gets fully juiced until the climax ...

Product Description:
In 1964 San Francisco, a pre-fame Bruce Lee (Philip Ng) challenges a Shaolin monk named Wong Jack Man (Xia Yu) to a fight behind closed doors. BIRTH OF THE DRAGON dramatizes this real-life event, which helped cement Lee's reputation as one of the greatest martial artists of all time. Billy Magnussen, Jingjing Qu, and Jin Xing co-star. Directed by George Nolfi (THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU).
