Summary: OK film for a Romantic Comedy
I am a very big fan of Jacky, but I have to say in terms of action, this ain't his best(Only four main fight scenes) Plus some parts where really odd aswell( Like when the boat crashed into the rocks, yet it looks like nothing happend to it at all.


Another part is, how did Shu Qi get enough money to go to HK?? I thought she was supposed to be poor, meh I'm getting confused.


The action IMO was really cool, watching Jackie and the Caucasian guy fight two times in what has to be some intense fighting( This guy could've easily beaten Jackie if he was the same height and weight)


Now the only cameo's I saw were Sam Lee, Daniel Wu( I think ) and Stephen Fung, but they are all in it for like one to two minutes.


Last but not least, the acting, Shu Qi did a okay job as Bu, but could we atleast see someone younger to play C.N.( Nick in origional version, I think) Cause it would've been better, or get a older woman for Jackie. It would've been better, oh yea Shu Qi was really cute. No wonder she is a big star.. Tony Leung was sweet in this film, playing the somewhat gay Photographer. It lights my day when I see this guy act, :)

In all, a good film to watch, just don't inspect any huge shootouts or Kung Fu wackiness, just two people falling in love, that's basically it.

3/5
