Apart from Jet Li, there doesnt seem to be anyone in hong kong making movies like this. All out action movies are rarely made at the moment. Donnie Yen is finally make a big name for himself.

But i felt that the movie's plot was just there to lead up to the fighting!! Ben Lam seemed wasted in his part. Kent Cheng was barely there though a nice touch. Ngai Sing and Ray lui (underrated i feel, he was more famous in the past and i hope he does well with establishing himself again) seemed to be the more dominate characters in the movie than Donnie Yen and Louis Koo (he was in the movies just to look good right?)

Once again Donnie Yen employs wrestling/grappling techiniques which is exciting and different to watch. One move looked like Street Fighter 2's Guile throwing moves!! That was GREAT!!

If compared to SPl, i prefer SPL,which has a better atmosphere and style to it. For those action starved fans, come watch this movie!!
