The Dragon Defense is a solid entry rated 7.4/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

Released in 2017, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
