Too greedy to have too many elements, making it a lousy one!

The storyline is simple and easy to understand. It looks more like a combination of many movie' plots into one.

The pace is ok, with some funny stuff here and there to keep you entertained.

There are jokes here and there, but many are rather predictable and, in fact they do not work well.

Some roles are rather extra, e.g. Big Boss, with or without him, it makes no difference. Jasper is still playing the same role as he always has. Even though he managed to bring some amusing vibes, NOTHING is NEW or IMPRESSIVE!

The director may have been too greedy to insert too many elements, e.g. Parts of Infernal Affairs , Ip Man , and In The Mood For Love. All these do not add value and gel well with the overall movie. In fact, they appear excessive and perplexing.

For a local production, I gave 4.5 out of 10. The plot is ok, but it's not solid because of the greed of having too much on the plate, which causes things to scatter around and lose focus.
