There is only one reason to see this movie and that is Donnie Yen. It
is just an amazing sight to see this master of martial arts in action.
Andrew Lau however must be ashamed for trying to be so political and
patriotic. Nothing wrong with nationalistic movies once in a while. But
lately it has been overkill. And he is clearly over his head here since
he barely makes sense of what actually is happening on the screen.
Worse you won't even care apart from the obvious cruelties displayed in
movies like this. It is such a shame that the focus seems to be on the
plot that is hardly interesting. Luckily for Andrew Lau Donnie manages
to save it all by himself but you can't but wonder what the movie would
have been like if the plot was kept simple.
