4/10
Overall Decent acting, good story (the idea of it) but bad execution.

Another movie should be made that is based on Fredric Dannen's article which is titled "revenge of the green dragons" (published by The New Yorker, Nov, 16, 1992). The problem with this movie is that it is often too gory (or semi-gory depending on your definition) and violent. Instead of depicting a more realistic story it shows an overly sensationalized image of the gang. Sure, some of these events might have happened, however that doesn't mean that you have to show it in the way that they did. This would have been a decent fictional gory/overly violent gang movie if it was not based on the article that appeared in The New Yorker. Moreover, on numerous occasions i thought that the scenes were totally unrealistic, which prevented me from having that immersed film experience. You know, those moments where one is like "really?!?!". Additionally, there where scenes in which the acting - from certain secondary cast members - was unconvincing. Overall, i give it a 4/10.
