I was expecting a lot from this movie, since I heard from the local papers that it could be Tsui Hark's return to form ever since his less than glorifying career following his stint in Hollywood. Well I guess I was expecting a bit too much, because this movie was a huge letdown. Other than the first act, which had incredible pace, the rest of the story falls flat with no real sense of direction or character development. I felt no sense of pity or loss when one of them dies, even though I know the director was trying hard to make me feel otherwise. A few camera tricks and a bunch of high-profile actors can't save this from flopping.
2/5 stars
