Donny Yen is a very good fighter and always delivers solid sequences. But he's not a Jackie Chan.
The story was thin and very sanitized. Blood but a lack of grit. Guess that's the pitfalls of making movies in a communist country.
I believe I can describe Chinese movie storytelling but really can't explain it. Very cursory in character development. Extended, detailed and often very impressive action sequences. But, in the end, they are often very similar to each other.
The reason you watch a Donny Yen movie is the fights. And he generally delivers. I'd watch another one from him but they are not gold like John Woo movies.
