The feel of the whole movie is simply surreal..! The plot's rather straightforward but the little nuances found in the symbolism that Tsui Hark loves to embellish his films with adds to the whole. Look for the cross symbolism! Zhao Wenzhao is fantastic as the hero..Together with Xiong Xin Xin, they put up some of the most amazing fights that had to be seen to be believed. That the fighters remain mostly on the ground gives credibility to their abilities. And the cool weapon that the hero totes around is, to say the least, utterly fantastic!
