I don't know quite what I just saw. I'll have to watch it at least a few more times before I make a proper review, but for NOW, let me just attest that the action was so intensely awesome that I forgot to breath; I actually found myself short of breath more than once just from watching.
I have followed eastern action cinema for years and have been continuously intrigued and impressed with their inventiveness and physical expression, but without doubt this film has not just raised the bar for western martial arts/action movies but for the entire Action Movie genre.
The stunt work is flawlessly executed, and utterly amazing.
These guys are insanely talented, and whilst they do what they do best, you just cannot but sit in awe.
I was so excited after watching this film I felt sick!
