I'm not sure what Donnie Yen was thinking when signed up for this. I hope he got some good money because this movie is so idiotic that it can ruined even decades of fame in its 1 hour and 45 minutes.
I can't really understand why this is considered the Captain America of Hong Kong either.
The script is incoherent to say the least. The genres shift abruptly from slapstick comedy to action and to drama and to horror in a split second. The editing is a total mess and in addition, you have to deal with some really annoying whooshes every time the location or the age changes.
There is an OK I guess martial arts choreography by Yen himself but isn't enough to make the movie worth seeing.
To tell you the truth I'm very disappointed from the latest martial arts movies.
Overall: watch it on DVD or on the Internet.
