I am not a fan of action films, but the action in this movie was great. Originally, I had only wanted to see Nicholas Tse (yes, I am his fan), and though "screw the others", but really, this movie was something great.

Bicholas Tse played a dumb punk, and I was disappointed, but what can I say? He suits the role, because he does have that kind of character (though I am sorry to admit it), and he definitely is not up to Wu Bai's part.

Now Wu Bai was really something else. I had thought the focus of the movie was on Nicholas, but it was really Wu Bai. He surprised me witht eh great action. It was cool how he could be prepared for everything. But then, that could be thanks to the directors of this movie.

The thing about cockroaches was a bit wierd, and I didn't get when did some of the spanish-speaking dudes die int eh action scenes.

The best scene was the attack on the housing estate. The sound effects were really cool as well. Nicholas Tse's theme song suited the movie, but Wu Bai's ballads were not as suitable, though great songs in themselves.

Yes, this movie is recommended and worth watching, especially due to the action. If you were planning to drool over Nicholas Tse, you will be disappointed.
