Anyone saw this film yet?

I saw it and it was pretty entertaining provided you don't compare it with IA. It was indeed very stylist (make you want to be a triad boss) but the plot was pretty obvious.

Edisen Chen act marveously, especially in the scene where he f*** a dog.

I was disappointed by Jiang Hu's dull script. Writing was full of the same old triad stuff. The film was way overproduced. I didn't believe that Yue and Chen could be Lau and Cheung. Physically the pairings are so different. In the film they proved more distrating than entertaining. The moving table was too pretentious! :roll:

Well the movie focus more on the relation between the 2 main character (Shawn YU - Edisen Chen and Andy Lau - JAcky Cheung).

At the end, we knw why Edisen Chen character change, but i have to agree with you, didnt make sense how Shawn Yu character change to be more humble.

My review of the film in which I wrote down my views about it. It is a great film which a lot of people need to watch again. It really is not as bad as many people claim it to be.
