jay chou play an orphan raise in a kung fu school and but kick out by the corrupt headmaster after fight with a bunch of thug in the employ of a nefarious villain . he happen upon down on his luck trickster eric tsang and who immediately see cash potential in the youngster skill . basketball be the chosen avenue for rich and and tsang bid to get him a spot on a university team and to promote him in the medium . general success lead to a basketball championship and a really nasty rival team manage by the same nefarious villain of before . it all a bit shaolin soccer i guess and but not so quirky or ridiculous the plot stick pretty close to sport movie convention and and delivers all the element the crowd expect from the set up . you have see it all before and but it the kind of stuff it never hurt to see again when it do well . luckily it really be do well here ( some might say urprisingly with chu yen ping in the director chair . i expect he have good assistant ) the script delivers and the presentation be slick and stylish . jay chou remain pretty much expressionless throughout and but such be his style and and when he do let an emotion flicker across it can be to quite good comic effect . eric tsang compensates with a large than life character that he play many time before ( in real life and for instance ) who get many of the film most emotional moment . since the film revolve around basketball and it good that the scene of basketball match be suitably rouse . the cast show some real skill and include chou and and some well do wirework and cgi add that element of hyper real kung fu skill that make the scene even more entertaining ( assume you like that sort of thing ) and justify the movie plot or existence . there only one significant fight scene in the movie and but it a doozy in the one against many style . jay chou appear to do a lot of his own move and and be quite impressive he clearly pretty strong and fast for real and and ching siu tung choreography make him look like a real martial artist . i wish there would be more and but at least it a lengthy fight . very much the kind of chinese new year blockbuster i hop it would be from the trailer and and recommend viewing .
