This film is not bad, the action is continuous! Acting: Donnie Yen has one serious intense expression all the time. Although you might laugh when he wears that mask, looking like Zorro/Daredevil/Spiderman standing on rooftops. Shuqi looks ugly and unnatural. Huo siyan(she's killed by Shuqi) is so pretty and when she died it was so poignant! Anthony Wong is a veteran and acts as good as ever. The bad guys are all one-dimensional and ugly. Choreography: Awesome. Donnie Yen takes off his shirt. He is really quick at fighting and running. Lots of blood and torture!! Plot: Basically it's a simple "Japanese--Bad. Chinese--Fight". It portrays what China is really like accurately though. Most of the times they are not united as seen from when they start fighting amongst themselves instead of against enemies. I think it's because they're too crowded. Sentimental parts are not bad, like Chen Zhen's parts and Shuiqi's parts.
