Audience Member The fights are awesome. Fans of Chow Yun-Fat, Leung Kar-Yan, Mei Sheng Fan and Eddy Ko should like it especially. Yu (Bride with White Hair, Fearless) displays talent, especially in the spectacular ice skating sequence. A machine gun and dynamite, you just don't get that in most Kung Fu flicks. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Early days for Ronny Yu and Chow Yun Fat. There were some good fight scenes and stunts as the characters deliver a package as they face danger with the bad guys. Otherwise it's a paper thin story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Early Chow Yun-Fat martial-arts actioner. He's the most well known star in the film but he plays second fiddle to Leung Kar-Yan who plays a postman leading a small band of misfits on a treacherous journey to deliver a secret cargo to a power hungry warlord. It's a fairly straight forward story which is littered with silly and ludicrous moments typical of these types of films, but it's a pretty eventful film with a fight scene sporadically springing up almost every 5 minutes out of nowhere. But these action scenes are over too quickly and the movie really needed a big set piece to break up the monotonous routine of the small skirmishes. There's a couple of memorable and unique moments along the way - Chow Yun-Fat using martial-arts for a start - but this is far from a great film, but an entertaining one none-the-less. Bizarrely director Ronny Yu ended up in Hollywood directing horror flicks like "The Bride of Chucky" and "Freddy Vs. Jason". Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
