Despite being a box office flop, “Jiu Jitsu” delivers an enjoyable experience for fans of campy, action-packed martial arts films. The cast performs energetically, although the film’s storyline and visuals may not meet the high standards some viewers expect. Nevertheless, it provides enough entertainment value, especially for those who appreciate a blend of sci-fi and martial arts choreography.
