Boring. Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10

Daniel Lee has just demonstrated that he is not capable of shooting fight sequences, each fight in the film has been edited horribly, with each single movement chopped and cut hindering the Ok choreography (By Chin Kar Lok). During the fight scenes the camera is in constant movement and flashing flights are, well - constant flashing preventing the audience from seeing what is actually happening. If you work hard enough though you can gain some pleasures from seeing some slick moves but we should not need to work to be entertained.

The romance aspect is terrible with no chemistry between the leads and both Vaness and Kim Hyun Ju seems bored, with Vaness showing little or no expressions (granted he speaks perfect English means nothing he needs acting lessons). The film being a Action and a Romance fails to deliver in both accounts and at most times feel like two different films.

The one thing that i gained enjoyment out of was spotting the veterans in the film: Gordan Liu, Ken Lo, David Chiang, Ti Lung.

Overlong, bad acting, boring romance and horrible MTV style fight scenes.
