Not sure why this is so highly rated. There aren't very many fight scenes, and those that we do have are either a bunch of super close shaky camera angles so you can't see anything, or a bunch of ground wrestling. Not much by way of interesting action to be found.
The story is really ho hum, which is fine when you've got a ton of wicked awesome fight sequences, but this lacked those entirely.
There is some nice parkour i guess.
I really love Donnie Yen, but we really don't get to see him let loose on anyone in this. I keep getting the feeling that Donnie Yen wants to make regular movies but isn't really able to put his name on anything that lacks fighting. Like Big Brother, this probably would have been better as a cop movie without any expectation of the arts martial.
