Firstly i was suprised that this movie has some fight scenes in it, it was a pleasant suprise, i thought this movie was pure drama.

A production with many colours, reminisent of HERO to a lower degree.

The story itself is intriguing but seen before.

IVe seen seen so many asians with there boobs so squashed together, it reminded me of some olded day english corsets

Chow yun fat doesnt seem to be doing much in his role, gong li steals the show. The sons, they all look overly young and jay chow shows limited acting ability and the eldest son overacts

The fight scenes was better than expected.

What made this movie better than it should be is the high production value.

OVerall it is entertaining but may leave you a little disappointed at the end.
