Viewing Notes
Much more politically minded and serious than the English title would lead one to believe. A veritable who’s who of Chinese actors and action stars, many of whom plays roles outside their usual realm.
It’s main weakness, like many films from China, is the overly heavy melodrama; but it’s still a great watch and a great ensemble cast.
