It's hard to expect much at a first glance; the trailer kind of gives away at what the entire movie's going to be about - but I'll have to be honest with this one - it's not half bad. The fight scenes are directed by none other than Yuen Wo Ping and the casting is ridiculously entertaining enough to require a popcorn box upon viewing with an audience of at least 2 or more. That way, you could laugh at how serious (or perhaps purposely non-serious) the movie attempts to be at certain points and not feel too bad about it. Yet overall, it's much better than expected. While a purchase is definitely out of the question, it'll make a great rental for fans of kung fu films. 7.4/10.
