This is an advance review of Into the Badlands, which premieres Sunday, November 15 after The Walking Dead on AMC.
Created by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough (of Smallville fame), Into the Badlands presents AMC's take on a mystic, dystopian future, where guns have been outlawed and martial arts and sword-fighting reign supreme. In the opening sequence we meet a great warrior named Sunny (Daniel Wu), whose motorcycle, sunglasses and leather duster all say, "Don't mess with me. I'm a badass." And badass he is. Within minutes, he confronts a group of violent bandits and makes quick work of them without even unsheathing his daishō. It's a great way to start this series and show just how competent the action here will be. In addition to thrilling wire fu and stunts, Sunny's fighting style is Tarantino levels of violent, with plenty of bone-snapping and bloodshed to go around.
