This was one of the finer martial arts movies I've seen. I thought it was great, especially seeing Ekin Cheng and Nicholas Tse together. I thought the effects were great, the acting was decent and the plot keeps you delightfully confused. To the guy that wrote the first thing, I'm sorry if you are offended
