Lets start off by me admitting that am not at all familiar with this directors work but it was a good mystery that kept me guessing through three quarters of the duration of this film. You can say that this was like a Chinese Sherlock Holmes film complete with (shock, horror) CGI effects. The action scenes were waaaay over the top but when one considers that they were laid out by top choreographer Sammo Hung then it is a must see. Also, although a period piece; does not follow history to a T or simply put...takes elaborate fictionalization with some of the characters. Not something tailored to my taste but was mildly entertaining (or maybe I just didn’t get it).
