I pre-ordered my copy at YESASIA and it should get here monday. Anyone else getting it soon? Or has anyone seen it already? I'm totally excited for the 4 coasters you get with it ;)

I haven't seen it yet,but I got my copy today from CD Wow in the UK and it came with four little bookmark/standee things,a mobile phone screen cleaner(!) and a postcard.
A very nifty little package! (rather like Charlene Choi...mwahahahahaaaaa!!!!)

I was in a Chinatown mall recently and one of the DVD stores had this playing on the big TV. I watched a good 15 minutes of it, mostly around the scene in which Stephen Fung and (I think) one of the Twins battles some chick with razors and spikes and hidden weapons all over her costume. Pretty slick looking film. The story seems on par with most wannabe-high-concept Hong Kong thrillers like this (Tokyo Raiders, Skyline Cruisers and Downtown Torpedoes come to mind). Michael Wong as that Blofeld-style villain was inspired, but I swear that guy's voice loses more bass with each passing year: he's developing a monotone. He really ought to scream his lungs out at the beginning of each take just to get some range...

It was so-so. The only thing I loved in it was Anthony Wong, because I love him and he's always great. I was also a little unsatisfied by the ending, but despite its many flaws I like the movie.

The movie is alright. Gillian and Stephen are the stars of the movie. Charlene didn't do much in the film.
