Somehow, it appears the entire genre of great action movies from Hong Kong in the 80s and early 90s has been wiped from people's minds. Was this really that mind blowing? No. The buzz behind this film has been tremendous so imagine my surprise when it turns out to be just a routine cop drama with one decent fight (Donnie Yen vs. Sammo Hung). Good but not great. People are calling this an amazing return to the HK cinema of yesteryear when it is far from that. Have they ever seen a HK film before this? Or is it like having your grandma tell you how amazing the martial arts in CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON are. Seriously, we've been down this road and it has been better many times before. A lot better.
