Lei is an orphan and a warrior. He joins the infamous Black Tigers gang as an "adopted son" by bringing back the head of a rival gang. The gang controls the piers as well as gambling, opium dens, and brothels. Lei works as a mole within the Black Tigers aiding the Orphan Gang to retake the piers and avenge the deaths of their fathers and free the 300. Film also has an attempt at a love story and has flashbacks.
This is a very long nearly epic tale of a man who championed the people vs. the "villains." The film has some good choreographed "Kill Bill" type of over-the-top martial arts. Just of touch of the anti-gravity. Most of the English subtitles had smooth translations. There were some minor problems with plurals and "Iam" should be two words. This is a martial arts film that has a lot of plot to go with it. There are knife cuts, blood, severed heads, etc. The sex scenes are toned down. We do see a woman's bare back. We see her garment groped, but never with a face attached to it. I wasn't sure what he was grabbing. The Three adopted sons represented 3 evils: Blood thirst, greed, and lust. I am sure there was more symbolism in the film that I didn't grasp.
No F- bombs, sex, or nudity. If you like the martial arts films coming out of China, this is a good one. Good cinematography as usual.
