As a Chinese American, I grew up watching HK mob and Andy Lau movies. Because of this, I recognize some of common threads, loyalty, betrayal, over reaching, and redemption. The thing that kills this movie for me is the poor acting. Chon as a main character and "bad boy" is a joke. To be fair, all the characters that Chon played previously, a feminine insecure kid in the Twilight Series and a party boy in 21 were a flop. This may contribute to my poor perception of him as a male lead in this movie. The movie's topic was interesting and had potential as my wife grew up in flushing and can attest to the violence. But.....This movie felt like a slap in the face of HK style movies, so much so that I was compelled to create an account and voice my opinion. It was poorly executed by the actors. A low point in Andrew and Martin's repertoire.
