before i saw this film i read an interview with donnie yen where he say that he put his blood and passion into everyshot . i think he be indeed very passionate about this film . while i do not think it be perfect it be a great stylished modern gun fu action film . hardcore action fan maybe bum about the pace . i think it be just right . the improvement from donnie first two film be right on the screen . i do think his other film be good and do not get me wrong . have recently see princess blade on the big screen i think what i like about donnie yen fight scene be they be very much a part of the film . the fight come from a balenced sense of cinema and kung fu . miramax need to give donnie the budget and put him behind the camera on a high brow iron monkey 2. watch blasstic kiss should give them faith .
