This movie was quite a surprise. I only rented it because I was curious.
As with any dubbed foreign movie, it took me a little while to get over the screwed up lip synch. At first, I was watching this thinking, "Oh geez, how cheesy!" - but then it sank its claws in to me, and I was hooked!
Once you get over its completely foreign style, you realise that this movie is very well done. Think of it as a Chinese Martial Arts Super Hero movie with a bit of romance thrown in at the last minute.
Once the movie was over, I felt, "Wow!" - This movie I will definitely watch again. There is a sequel currently marked as 'in production'. I will definitely keep my eye open for it when it's released.
I class it as: Foreign Action Comedy *Surprise Hit!
Rating: 7/10 -- Not recommended for kids, it has some gruesome scenes.
