this film be the best kung fu film of all time . although there be not wire work and special effect like those use in crouch tiger and this movie use ingenuity and creative camera work to create memorable fight moment and and the fight scene be well choreograph and tight . there be a ton of action in this film with lot of great fight scene and but the story be very good too and with lot of twist and turn . the character be well round and have real depth to them and a the motivation for their action and personality be reveal in a much great detail than most kung fu film . there be some really great camera work in the film and with my favorite shot start a a close up on our hero face show his reaction and then pull back quickly to reveal the scene before him that be the cause of his look . originally and i buy the movie to hop see some great fight scene and but upon multiple viewing i learn how terrific the acting and story be as well . overall and a great film .
