really good martial arts. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
The plot of this film is terrible and you couldnt careless about it not one time does the audience care about the proceeding for there is no tension in the scenes and the dialogue is atrocious. this is not helped by some poor casting; Michael Wong is a terrible actor he delivers his line with no emotion and whats worse is he mixes both poor cantonese and english during his scenes. Being in a wheel chair throughout the whole film he does not let loose any martial arts which is misleading from the box art.

Anthony wong puts in a decent performance along with some nice martial arts (but doubled quite often). Wu Ma and Daniel Wu add nothing to the proceedings and could have been left out all together. The costume department is also appalling villains are clad in biker outfits and shades to make them look the part.

Stephen Fung is really annoying most of the time in the picture and along with a pointless role from Charlene Choi who again resorts to her cutsey ways can fustrate, but if you stick with the film you get to see some well choreographed fight scenes scattered through out the picture. Gillian Chung (bias opinion here; i have a soft spot for gillian) shines in this film handling the fight scenes really well and the sibling bickering between Fung and Chung is amusing.

At times the fights do seem to go over bored with some rediculous wire work but that can be forgiven for there are a lot of solid fights. There are also some amazing moves from the villains in the action department, casting real life martial artist Jake strickland, Jon Foo and Philip Ng.

enjoy the fights but ignore the plot.

Much better than I expected! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I had a very different idea of this movie before I saw it, and expected it to be more bloody. I was very pleasantly surprised!! It was a great blend of humor and fighting. I greatly enjoyed seeing actors in roles different than I'm used to seeing them in. For example, Daniel Wu had a more comedic role than his violent starring role in "New Police Story", which was great to see! In addition, up-and-comer martial artist/actor Philip Ng has pretty good amount of fight scene time (also in NPS), even if mute the entire time. I could have done without the subplot between Ricky and the sister's bestfriend. Completely extraneous and boring sideplot that should have been trimmed like gross fat.

 Gillian Rocks The House! Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
There's not much I can really add to what as been said about this film, as all the verdicts about this light action thriller comedy banter is spot on. One things for sure, though, that if you haven't seen this yet, I'd recommend you give it a go, as its certainly not short of high energy entertainment in this vibrant action piece. Mainly another pastiche of things HK martial arts, its, however, well delivered (with the art of choreographer Yuen Yo Ping, who as also done "The Matrix" and "Kill Bill") especially with the verve and fun of Gillian and Stephen Fung, showing some nifty action sequences at the latter part. Not exactly the red clad outfit depicted on the cover promotional artwork photos, though, as I imagined and anticipated before watching this, that this reflectively red suited outfit were all going to be members of an elite fighting group, somewhat in the vein of an anime spoof. Well not quite that, as the only fighting team thick in the action here are Anthony Wong (with some unforgettable and quite classic fight scenes mid way through), Gillian and Stephen fighting the bad guys in this comedy action thriller. Charlene makes an appearance at the beginning, after Teddy Yu's (Anthony) 007 skit with a bunch of ninjas, but mainly only supports this film through some of the middle bits, taking more of a back seat this time and letting Twin colleague Gillian take the reigns in all of this. Charlene is more passive here - well except for a cigar scene! The screen writer, director and plot are actually more letting her, too, but you know what I mean - its pretty well Gillys show here. So, alas, due to having only one Twin thruster on the go here, this isn't going to be a 'Twins Effect' action fest as such. Gillian certainly provides some remarkable movements in this, though, and is one feisty and spunky martial arts fighting damsel, not quite as in distress as damsels normally go.

Overall, maybe not a classic movie of its sort, but ironically by the very enjoyable and fluid action sequences, and with some memorable comedy antics and touches of charismatic humor from Anthony, Stephen, Gillian and Daniel, all makes this a very watchable and re-watchable film! Anthony Wong seeing off a group of ninjas with a skeleton's arm in the mode of Fist of Fury, has got to be worth seeing for this alone! Gilly is superb in the action bits (I know I've said that, but I want to say it again) and with such gusto, she provides a lot of the fury here. Your entertainment should be easily satiated, I'm sure, and as long as you don't have expectations of a true grit martial arts movie, or like the more heavier versions with the fighting sequences, you should throughly enjoy this.

One last thing, Charlene's French kissing scene could have been taken a bit further though. Eh, I don't mean in the literal sense, but with the cigar breath gag scene with Stephen not being fully implemented into what could have been a classic funny. In fact, gosh, I wonder who Charlene is trying to be here - Clint Eastwood? Oooh, go on, make your day and get this film!

That's Entertainment Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The biggest draw are the big names in the movie but it almost seems like a waste of talent. The story itself is nothing spectacular but nicely presented with your typical cast of bad guys, henchmen, heros & family conflicts. Fights are nothing to write home about but once again nicely executed with your higher budget effects & choreography. The little boy wonder & his pole work was quite possibly the most impressive display in the movie.

GREAT MOVIE Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I loved this movie, it had a really great cast. The children are forced to learn martial arts at a young age because their dad is a spy, their dad is kidnapped in the movie to protect a fellow spy and friend. Overall I would recommend buying this.

HAO !! GOOD !! BUENO !! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I loved this movie!!! It has a meaning and teaches a lesson. The lesson is always be with your most loved person & always listen to people. I loved this movie very much but some of the scenes seems to fake. Gillian Chung did an outstanding job especially her kung-fu. Charlene Choi did a good job but she doesn't have a lot of part, only at the beginning and end. Stephen Fung also did an outstanding job especially his kung-fu, of course, and the parts where he teaches the dolphins. Overall, I think this movie is worth to buy & it is very good !!

It's fist full of FUN FUN FUN! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Stephen Fung is awesome (actor - director - writer), Anthony Wong as the father is so fun, he is a funny person indeed. He should do more roles like this. Gill (Twins) and Fung are great! Great to see the other Twin SA in this movie. Also, give my props to ABC Daniel Wu, he's a U of Oregon alumni. I really enjoy this movie, great action, funny moments, drama...Must see!!!

 Too Much Wire Foo and Simplistic Story Line Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
The movie is full of tired cliches of a boyfriend betraying a girls trust due to honor and duty. However "he really did love her". The widowed father that lives a lonely life but only wants to see is kids grow up peacefully. Weak story line, class C action sequences. Plain bad. If only the winter Olympics are on, then I suppose this would be a decent substitute for entertainment.
