Perhaps the plot is a bit simplistic, and the villain is terribly dull and contrived, but this is the kind of film you want to watch for its action scenes, and they are simply breathtaking. Hong Kong shows that the most beautiful fight scenes can only come from Asia. And it works great, even with digital effects in places.

I would love to give 4 stars, but this time I can't. Once again there are a lot of familiar faces that I always enjoy watching. The best is Jacky Wu, he plays a villain here, but is impeccable as always. Yu Xing is almost everywhere lately, he has a smaller role here, but the surprise are Eddie Peng and Ching-wan Lau. As for the story, I found it unnecessarily complicated, at times I got lost in who was bad and who was good. It also lacks any significant pacing, so I found myself bored a few times, but once the action comes in, it's something to watch. It's over-the-top, but the choreography is top notch and delightfully R-rated. I place the high point of the film in the middle,where they invade a village and fight with every possible weapon at hand. The finale is fine too, just the occasional dullness annoyed me. Hong Kong is not my cup of tea this year. 65%
