Awesome Maaaaan, @$#% yeah this is good. The best yet again with good fights and pretty Goff acting to go with it just like flash point.

Wonderful Choreography I enjoyed the movie. The Choreography and stunts performed by all of the actors were amazing, something Donnie Yen never fails to deliver. I am a huge Donnie Yen fan, so I might be a tad biased but it's true that his stunts are probably one of the best in the industry. Now, it may not be the most authentic, like they were back in the days, but they are good enough to the point where an untrained eye, wouldn't notice the amount of cutting and scenes that go on during the film. I prefer raw action, over constant cuts of scenes. Yes, I understand that actors and directors try the their very best to not injure their actors/themselves, but more raw and less edited scenes would be more captivating and engaging. Story wise, the film had a typical Hong Kong Styled Triad, good guy, bad guy, type of thing- nothing too surprising. Nevertheless, it did it's purpose of displaying the different type of stunts and martial art techniques that Donnie wanted to show. It's true, Donnie's films are a testament of his skill. Well done! By the way, watching in Cantonese is the only way you'll be able to fully enjoy the movie. Foreigners should be thankful for the subtitles.

Good movie. Great plot and great story line for Donnie Yen. He's always been a great actor. People just needs to quit hating. The movie was clearly understandable. Not sure why some people didn't get.

I Loved Special ID Loved Loved Loved Loved this movie! I Don't understand why people gave a low review on movie review sites?? It has a story, action. I Love Donnie Yen as an actor, an action choreographer and an action star. A great actor is someone who can do many things in a movie not just an actor star; that's why you watch the other movies they have made.
