I love foreign film. I love spy/espionage films. I love action films.
I rented this one for all of those reasons.
Watch this one for it's hot locales and high-production values. Past that - this movie is really, really bad.
I have NO CLUE how this is scored this high here.
The acting is as rigid as a treated 2 x 4. The script was written by the same guy that wrote the "See Spot Run" book. Every detail of the film is repeated 5 times - as if the viewers have a 48 IQ. I really felt insulted by how they kept repeating the same stuff over and over.
There is no plot.
Hong Kong looks great on film. I've been there. It's a beautiful place. If not for the landscapes and couple of decent action scenes - I would have voted this even lower.
Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.
The back-story is poorly put together, and the current story is non-existent.
Very disappointed. Looks good, but the acting and writing are deplorable!
I usually put "If you like this you might like____ ____" lists on my reviews, but if you DID like this - then the chances of me recommending something and you actually liking it is highly improbable.
39/100 WOrst "good" looking film I've seen in a long, long time.
Think "Quantum of Solace" - only with weak acting, and an even weaker plot(is that even possible),...oh, and less action too.
