John Woo ain't no schmuck and this is worth seeing, if for no other reason that it will be rich visuals for the eyes.

This admitted - let' all come clean and realize that the reason why all worthwhile Chinese films are hyper-realistic and/or based in feudal times is because the "I get to be Capitalist and you get to be Communist" regime has led to a complete collapse in culture and advancement. There is nothing to celebrate in their culture, nothing worth seeing on film.

But that is just my opinion.
