Not a physical one that is, but a psychological one if you want to call it that. The movie itself gets pretty intense and I was surprised it was shown at the Internationl Festival in Berlin this February. The stars were also there and the movie was very well received, though I wasn't able to talk to any of them.
Even without them there to watch the movie with you, the movie experience is more than intense and suspenseful. Daniel Wu is also known to Western audiences because he has ventured to the West, but most of the other actors are well known too, just not to the West. The job they're doing is impeachable though. If you like your mystery movies to try new things (especially with its lead roles), you will more than delighted with this

Well i watched this movie in cinema, watched trailer & give a chance to watch it & i was quite surprise after watch this movie because movie was much better then my expectation Direction,Script,acting all was Awesome ,Story was unique twist was mindblowing
Cinematography is great. Dark and gritty with commendable performances, but the plot (if you can call it that) has holes so big an elephant could walk through them. I wonder how others can say it has a great twist. It's not a twist, it's a cliche ending that makes absolutely no sense if you really think about it.
My quick rating - 5,9/10. Another well-made action movie out of Hong Kong. I know they are well known for that and this one isn't as high brow as some but still is a good, solid flick. My problem is even though it was subtitled, I fell asleep watching it. That is abnormal for me so that says something about overall rating. But that being said, this was well acted and had a nice, fluid story to it. By a strange twist of fate, dutiful Hong Kong policeman Dan saves the life of the leader of a violent gang of armed robbers. When they commit another crime, Dan is determined to put an end to their activities. He works with the leader, whom the gang had betrayed, to engineer a plan to wreak havoc within the gang and let the gangsters kill one another. But it becomes increasingly obvious to Dan and to his colleagues that Dan is suffering from a severe mental disorder, and Dan finds that instead of upholding the law as a righteous police officer, he has now become a fugitive wanted for murder.
Story telling plot = Not good(a little bit confusing)
Horror scene = Boring
Action = very less
Thriller = Ok.
Movie got both STORY and ACTORS but somehow didn't get the output.
