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.

The actors clearly know their moves.

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

Herald Sun (Australia)
Bruce Lee is presented as too full of himself, condescending, occasionally superficial, and in general, immature

Rating: 2/5 --
It doesn't offer much enjoyable action, and doesn't convince in any way as a picture of what Lee's life was really like.

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

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).
