I am baffled to see the overall score. I can't help but question, is that score authentic?
I watched this with my wife. This movie is easily the worst HK movie I have ever seen. There are many bad HK movies, but this movie beats them all. The ones at fault are obviously the director and writer.
First off, the pacing is bad, really bad. There isn't proper introduction and characterization at all. We can hardly know anyone in the movie. They come and go as fast as the wind. When some names are mentioned in the movie, we can only roll our eyes and ask "Who are they again??" When some people die, followed by awful scream and cry and melancholy music, again we look at each other, roll our eyes and ask "Who are those people anyway?" It's true. Until the end, we don't really know they are, what are their relationship to the main character.
After that there's nothing but going downhill. The movie keeps time skipping and nothing seems to be important. People die here and there, but excuse me, who are they anyway, and why should we care? They have only been introduced like, two minutes ago! And then end credit rolls...
