One of the best fight scenes ever!!!

The fight in the high rise apartment is brilliantly done, and shows how Stathem can change his fighting style from movie to movie. He doesn't come over in this fight as the best or worst, but still manages to win....just. Using his hand to stop a knife going through his head is uuuuuummmmm, a kinda smart move but wouldn't it break the nerves in his hand....
Still, very entertaining and a lot of blood.

I thought so too. Really well staged ... a highlight!🐭

It would break some nerves, but not the main ones.

The knife went through his hand in between the bones. The major nerves of the hand follow the bones, so the the knife would have / should have missed them as well.

Besides, given the situation, I'd risk some partial paralysis of a hand to avoid a knife in the head! :-)
