Rating: D+ --
There's no reason a movie in which Bruce Lee and Steve McQueen (er, "Steve McKee") duke it out with Chinatown gangsters in mid-1960s San Francisco has any business being this joyless and dull.

AV Club
Bruce Lee is presented as too full of himself, condescending, occasionally superficial, and in general, immature

Rating: 1.5/5 --
This cheaply produced and oddly unfocused drama is underwhelming in the extreme.

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.

The movie’s linchpin is a real-life battle between Lee and a Shaolin monk, Wong Jack Man, which an opening title says was reputed to have been spurred by Wong’s objection to Lee’s 'kung fu for all' ethos.

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).
