    Good action, not exaggerate and very touching story!
    At first, I can say that I have watched tons of Asian movies involving martial arts, and most of them rely on action basically, without any kind of good story line.

    In this movie, the physical action it's decent and quite well made, and the story line is interesting and will keep you wondering and thinking what could happen next. Acting is pretty good, I can say, comparing with the rest of the movies in this category that I have seen.

    Beware it's not that "killing and smashing" kind of martial arts movie. It's more of a drama, and a very touching on, and I can't say I'm that type of a person who like this kind of movies, but regardless of my beliefs, I really enjoyed this one.

    I don't know why people usually give this awful grades to movies, but I definitely can give this one a 10, as I did. I sincerely recommend it! Didn't want to tell you more about the movie so I wouldn't ruin the surprise, and keep you curious.
