After hearing so many good things about this film, I was really looking forward to watching it. Man, was I disappointed. The fighting was O.K. (if not a bit sick; a guy gets cut into eight pieces), but there wasn't enough fight scenes. The story had promise, but the bad guys were just too weird. A brother-sister who happen to be siamese twins (how exactly does that happen with non-identical twins?) that are so strange it defies explanation. Trying to have a touching love story with deceit versus trust as the main subject simply didn't work. Ronny Yu is better than this (as evidenced by "The Warriors of Virtue").

(7/10)
