This movie in the category Asia-mania was a very long sit. Expected was some good action and at least a good story, since this movie was a chosen 'goodie' for the film festival 2009.
However the movie started how it ended, slow and non progressive. In short the story line: Famous actor meet gangster and is captured by the coolness and expected rudeness of the gangster (mafia style??) Actor invites gangster to join his movie and make it a hit.
The result of this was that the movie was about shooting a movie (almost like a documentary); the action scenes did not improve and the movie in my idea did not became better; The social inter-act-meant between the characters also stayed the same. After the in-movie-movie is finished the gangster returns to his line of business and helps another gangster boss carry a purchased art-item. The continuous bashing in this scene raised the vote from a 4 score to a 5 score;
It was a long wait (113 minutes) for just this cool scene
