Great action!!!!
|
This is one of the Don's great action movies and is done like an art house film. The story is simple but told innovatively but the action really shines with realistically fast action at least from d perception of a people involved in a ferocious fight rather than watching from a safe distance. Those who complained about the speed are probably old skool n not martial arts practitioners n therefore need all the action spelt out to them. Anyone who's ever been in a real street fight situation where your chops depended on it will understand how fast everything can happen. I even have friends who can unleash 3 different types of high kicks per second with fist work that move even faster than their rubberlike legs. Like me they all understand n appreciate the action in dis great movie which we rate second best to the now classic Yuen Wo Ping IRON MONKEY also starring Don Yen. Would luv to have seen it in the cinema. As it is we have to make do wif boot legs n dis dvd version where sadly d picture quality sucks! Hence why I've only awarded it a 6 instead of 10. Hope for a better quality dvd release in d near future!!!! |

I enjoyed it.

This has split opinions and i personally think that it is a decent effort from Donnie Yen even though it is a bit on the low budget side. Story wise it is only minorly interesting with some boring scenes attached. This is better than his other efforts e.g. Ballistic kiss and shanghai affairs The real part in which the film shines is the fight scenes they are intense and at great speed (intentional under cranking), with a huge array of combination kicks from Donnie. And this is what sets it apart from other films is Donnies kicking ability in which no other martial arts actor can recreate. The fights are also more real unlike otheres in which they seem more chereographed. The DVD quality is poor with crap sound and picture. No extras at all. |

Okay for a directorial debut
|
The story/plot was confusing at times & the editing could use some work. If you like action that is fast camera work, quick changes/circling angles then this is for you. If you get motion sick easily, you may want to steer clear of this one. Definately a "must have" if you are adding to your Donnie Yen collection. A very nice showcase of fast & hard, nothing flowery boxing as only Donnie can present. |

I've got to say I'm amazed by the other reviews. I don't understand how anyone could think this was anything near good, let alone excellent. Yes, it was made extremely cheaply. And it shows. The biggest disappointment tho and the thing that lets this film down completely is that all the fight scenes are awful! The director has tried to make them very fast and dynamic, but what you get is lots of weapons clashing at such speed that you can't actually see anything. It's full of nauseating shots that flash for a split second and are gone. There is not a single decent fight scene in the entire movie. Very poor. |

Most Impressive Directorial Debut Ever!!!
|
I must say I am a hardcore Donnie Yen fan, but either way this movie was incredible. Even though there was tons of undercranking and editing, Donnie Yen shines like no other. This was his style and even though there are people who dislike it, people who realize Donnie's style of action direction could appreciate it even more. And just in case you didn't know, Donnie Yen had only US $500,000 to create such a fantastic movie. That's only half a million! I don't think I have ever seen a movie with such a low budget that was so innovative and satisfying all at once. If you disliked this movie, just check out Iron Monkey, the Fist of Fury series, Kung-fu Master series, or Once Upon a Time in China 2 and you can easily see why Donnie Yen has been my favorite martial artist for quite some time now. DONNIE YEN IS A PIMP! |

Impressive directorial debut

Excellent movie with great action, melodrama, comedy, and music. Donnie gets a little carried away with the action at the end but it doesn't ruin the ending. Highly recommended!!!!! |
