This movie is all about the famous ever-lasting theme, which is: Good Guys vs Bad Guys, with Good Guys winning in the end. I suppose it's a perfectly right, because not a lot of people want tragic finals - it's depressing.
The script is uncomplicated and doesn't contain any deeply buried philosophical questions, so people who expect to finally discover answers to "Why are we here?" will probably walk away feeling deceived. However, while I liked the uncomplicated part, I suspect that some pieces of the story had gone missing during the making of the movie and occasionally I felt lost. That's why I'm rating it 9 instead of 10.
But the rest was really good. The actors - all of them - fitted perfectly and Donnie Yen was even better than perfect if only it's possible. And since it was him who did the action choreography it's only to be expected. When he starts kicking Bad Guys' asses you understand very clearly that they don't stand a chance against him, poor dears. Donnie Yen is awesome.
Overall, I must say that I liked all three main heroes and wanted them to win throughout all the movie, and that says something.
So, if you want to watch something visually impressive, with martial arts performed really, really well and good acting - that movie is for you. I enjoyed it immensely.
