    the review is favorable to the movie
    I really like the film and have become a fan of takeshi because of it. The ambiance of the movie and the cinematography is quite nice. The flashbacks are well position as not to let the viewer be confused. Gigi Leung gave a good performance in it. But still there is something missing somewhere. At the end of the movie, I feel somewhat dissatisfied. The motives of the characters (of their actions) are not truly explored. I finished the movie asking myself "did I somehow fall asleep sometime during the movie and miss the integral part of it?"
