I was surprised at how much I liked this movie. Sure the story was formula and I could see the plot coming a mile down the road, but this movie had a lot of heart and that makes it something of a rarity. Aaron Kwok was excellent as the kickboxer who desperately needs motivation in order to achieve greatness. Carmen Lee provides that motivation and she does a good job of playing a University student who can't forget her roots as a fishmonger's daughter. Samo Hung has a small but tasty role as Aaron Kwok's trainer; a very good, understated performance from him. Don't forget your hanky when you see this sweet gem of a movie.
