Strong violence

Director: Peter Chan
Actors: Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tang Wei

From Peter Ho-Sun Chan, the acclaimed director behind blockbuster The Warlords, comes a new action film that will redefine the martial arts genre and bring a new level of visual style. International action star Donnie Yen (Ip Man I & II) reteams with Chan (producer of Bodyguards and Assassins) to play the leading role of a ruthless killer-turned-repented family man whose sinful past is catching up with him. Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers, Red Cliff) stars as the detective who determines to bring him to justice but discovers that he is no ordinary killer.

Excellent! I watched this without knowing what it was about and enjoyed how the story removed layer after layer to reveal the underlying truth. Basically a story about a paranoid schizophrenic detective and a hard working family man who stops a couple of bandits, knowing anymore about the story line would ruin it. Takeshi plays his role quite convincingly using the concepts of meridian points to describe in a CSI like manner (both visually and orally descriptive) the events that transpired as he sees it. Donny Yen performed the Martial arts scenes magnificently which were reasonably realistic as well as visually impressive. Visually the look is stylish and the scenery is both beautiful and rustic. Watch and enjoy.
