Some Asian crime films come at you with a straight face and a fist that’s already moving. The crooks are all rotten, the cops are angry, and the punches are heavy. Movies such as “Fist & Furious” (2019) features hardened faces and brutal combat, with very little room for a grin unless somebody’s about to lose his teeth.
