This movie is a highly creative and stylized action film from the Hong Kong kung fu genre.
A lot of wit, slapstick, visual effects, killer kung fu, and a unique plot offer an incredibly fun and entertaining film. Wonderful acting and directing has elevated this film to a level, on par with with other unique and innovative films like Crouching Tiger or The Matrix.
At one time I hated all kung fu movies (like most, I could only tolerate Bruce Lee and couldn't understand goofy HK kung fu cinema.) Thanks to films like this, I now look forward to edgy modern kung fu movies. Two thumbs up!
score 10/10
