Sammo and Donnie are already tops to me but I think that the reviews are a little generous. I understand we don't have many options so we are really going through Kung Fu withdrawal. It's OK though I am still with you in spirit.
Of course, I wanted more fighting!!! Sammo movies always had endearing characters that grew on you. Sad to say, I barely got to know these characters. There were too many clichés that didn't work for me either. Funny, I was rooting for Sammo and his assassin the whole time. I guess I just didn't like the police characters in this film. They just didn't make me believe their cause. The little girl and a brain tumor were just too trite. Too much is taken for granted from the viewer as if the lines are clearly drawn without taking the time to let it sink in. Before I knew it, it was over. Felt like a tease.
I wouldn't complain if it had more fighting. Then I would be smiling with glee and the other complaints would be minor. Still, I would rather have seen it than not. Wireless fighting rules! I can still think of tons of approaches to making martial arts films that haven't been done yet.
