L² Comment:

When i read the novel, the story of Wu Xin Yun always fancy me but it really does not explain much on it. But this movie it created the twins character and lesbinate relationship instead, how true issit? But definitely Chi & Xu's are different from the original novel, no wonder Kam Yung is not that happy with this movie...

I give this a full score as non of the scene is bored and it was so exciting to watch. The storyline is good and love the way it brought out Hu Jun and his son's relationship in the movie, very touching. Can see that Nicholas has improved a lot on his acting, love it. Andy On still hot but Shawn seems to be faded a bit. Overall this is a good film, watch it!

L² Comment:

From the thriller, it really attracted my attention, but the actual first 10 min of the movie make me yawn and almost sleep... Nicholas Tse acted very well in either emotional way and on all fighting scene; Jay in another hand has nothing much to show his talent. Liu Kai Chi still perform all the best he can... Overall the story is ok, but a bit bored...

And btw, i was stuck in a horrible jam when they shoot this film at Pavilion...grrrhhh...

L² Comment:

Though Nick Cheung and Liu Kai Zhi both won the Best Actor and Best supporting actor in multiple academy awards, but i can't really feel how good they are in this film. Is it because that year their competitors are not strong enough? Or just luck perhaps?

But both Nick and Liu are definitely good actors, hope to see more of their movie soon...

The movie is kinda bored at first until Sing vomit.... It makes u feel like something mystery is coming up, though the only thing that's gonna happen is aaron kwok found who's the murderer. The whole movie was not bad, a lot of nomination in this movie though they did not win any, but makes me feel that Aaron should go for acting instead of singing :P
