I saw this movie because I wanted to see more martial arts films that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Even Tarantino states this is one of his favorites, and I must say that I agree. Although I liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I have to say I enjoyed this one a little bit more. Somehow, the action, the characters and the storytelling is weaved together in perfect harmony. I'm not a huge fan of martial arts movies, but if Hollywood made more action films like this - where the action is such a part of the storytelling - I would definitely see more of them. Another strong point of the film is that you quickly get attached to the characters, something typical action movies rarely achieve in such short time.
