The Plot: Once known as the Kung Fu prodigies âThe Three Tigers,â the trio of martial artists are now middle-aged men one kick away from a pulled muscle. Their master teacher, Sifu Cheung (Roger Yuan), is murdered, which springs them into action. The childhood friends reunite to avenge him, as they juggle dead-end jobs, dad duties and old grudges. Lynnâs Take: A crisp throwback to the â90s era of martial arts movies, âThe Paper Tigersâ is a warm-hearted exercise in reconnecting friendships and rekindling your purpose. First-time director Quoc Bao Tran, who also wrote the screenplay, has assembled a trio of likable actors whose chemistry is palpable for this action comedy: Alain Uy as Danny, a divorced dad who works in insurance; Ron Yuan as Hing, out-of-shape trash talker who used to work in hotel security; and Mykel Shannon Jenkins as Jim, who has been estranged from Danny.
