Over-the-top CGI for a very lame screenplay
29 March 2023
All the fighting scenes and the weaponry designed by computer graphics are just too modern and laughably ridiculous. The formulaic screenplay, as usual, is another lame script by Chinese play writers. The costumes also looked too modern with strong influence of the western designers. The romance between the two leading characters is too weak to have any convincing chemistry. The dialog is also too weak and uninteresting. But the worst part is the horrible voice over, especially the female who was hired to be the voice-over for Lady Hua, without the subtitles for her, you wouldn't understand what she's talking about, the voice-over is extremely low and vague, it further deteriorated by the poor wooden acting of the actress who played Lady Hua.

As to the weaponry, well, they were so modern, even with flash bang, smoking grenades, flame thrower, first generation of grenades, high power dynamite that causing great explosions.

The whole movie is just like watching a Chinese made video game, a very boring one, nothing really interesting but full of westernized computer graphics. This movie is a Chinese version of John Wick, non-stop fighting scenes, all the characters are very difficult to be killed, the only difference between these two movies is NO GUNS, NO BULLETS.
