Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Well...considering that this movie a failure at that time, I guess it's understandable. It has plenty of actions but the storyline is a complete mess. Even with good actors as Liu Yung and Mok Siu Chung can't even save this movie. I wouldn't say that this is totally bad, but it's just average and I feel like 50% wasting my time where in ends all good guys die and bad guys wins. It's just doesn't make sense.. however it's just watchable because of strong performance from the actors and good build up character. There are plenty of actions with good fight scenes. But this movie is a good example which prove the theory where plenty of actions and strong acting doesn't mean it will provide a good movie in the end.My vote is only 5.5 stars; it's only watchable for once in a while.
