A disappointing movie after months of anticipation...

Donnie Yen...why?

This movie's advertising made me want to see this movie so badly, the trailer looked good! The fight scenes looked great in the trailer but it turns out it was just a disappointment as I was looking forward to a movie with fights like Yen's other movie, "Flash Point". Maybe, that's why I didn't enjoy it as I wanted to see a great fight between Donnie and Collin Chou or Andy On, but found that this "mixed martial arts" that Donnie used was a mess and nope, no Collin vs Donnie Part II.

The story line is really predictable and boring and Donnie is portrayed as a literally stupid character who knows how to fight. Donnie's first fight near the start of the movie was a big disappointment as Donnie literally just crawls around on the ground the whole time fighting Ken Lo's character, during a mah jong game.

If you are going to watch this movie and expect "Sha Po Lang" or "Flash Point", you will be disappointed. If you are a Donnie Yen fan and expect to see some good acting, you might be disappointed. If you see this and lower your expectations, you might not be disappointed!
