Viewing Notes

Haven’t seen since its theatrical release so a good revisit. Lots to enjoy here with Tiger Chen and all his fights. The final fight still sours the film as it feels so tacked on and just not believable. Love Karen Mok but she should’ve had more to do than sit around. Also would’ve been neat to see Iko get a parallel journey showing his skills so that face off has more weight.
