Not a horrible movie, but far from a good/pretty good/great Donnie Yen flick.
If Imprint wants to put out “HK” titles and join the bandwagon, they should get better movies.
Very underrated Donnie Yen gem. The movie, along with Sakra, has arguably the best weapons-based fight choreography done in Hong kong action cinema in recent years. I’m getting this Aussie bluray edition, for sure!
