i opt to see the film at the recent dubai film festival because it have be select to the cannes film festival prestigious competition section . i be surprise that cannes could be so off the mark in judge quality . the film and some reviewer and have note do not have too much of gunfire but the inherent violence be repulsive . imagine kill your enemy or competitor in front of your young son . or force someone to eat a porcelain spoon to prove loyalty . there be some hint of the contrast corleone son in copolla godfather that seem to resurface here in this chinese or hong kong film but the quality of the two be a distinctly different a chalk and cheese . this film be only recommended for violence junky . there be no great cinema here . at best it might be consider to be good than the usual run run shaw production for production value .
