This film is probably one of my favourite films of the last few years, certainly from the point of view of Hong Kong cinema its a throwback to the yesteryear when films in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema were being churned out this one has enough nostalgia with a heavy dose of beautifully crafted brilliance that is all there to seep into your eyes in every frame of film.
Lets start with the cast, Raymond Lam is the prefect as Lok, Lam is probably best known for his TV work and here he channels his years of acting into giving a pivotal performance with a heavy dose of Martial Arts mayhem. He’s surrounded by legends of the scree with Sammo Hung as Mr Big almost stealing the entre movie from under everyone’s feet with him kicking ass like he was back in the day and looking good to, with Louis Koo giving a more reserved and grounded performance that provides a nice foil to the exuberant Lok. The real scene stealer though is Philip Ng as Mr Bgs right hand henchman and supernatural powered psychotic villain he chews up every scene he sin and he’s the bad guy you love to hate, beautifully maniac and I loved every scene he was in.
