La Città Proibita AKA The Forbidden City [2025] Directed By: Gabriele Mainetti Finally got to watch this and what a surprise this Italian film was. With choreography done by Trayan Milenov-Troy of Alpha Stunts and Emiliano Novelli of EAStunts (Not the gaming studio). I should have known this was going to bring the heat. Really dig the story of Mei played by Yaxi Liu (This is her first leading role but been doing stunts for a minute) on looking for his sister while captive we get to see the trials and tribulations different immigrant ethnic groups face in Italy. While the hunt for the truth is how the film starts of, we get a lot of character depth and background, motivations for said actions and what it is to be loved or not. Really a great film and you get at least five solid quality action scenes with one very epic one in this 2hr film. Now, the romance in this is great but one felt a little force, they had the buildup but rushed it. Two, they should have swapped one part of the finale with the earlier encounter before it got there. Overall, the ending was, how can I put it. It was sweet. Really loved this film, especially the freaking soundtrack. Great selection of classic Italian music and Chinese. @wellgousa has acquired the rights for this film so be ready to get bless and massive thanks to @fanaticaldragn on the reminder of this film.
