This movie, about three close friends who escape from Hong Kong to war-time Saigon to start a criminal's life, is a bad crime movie.
It has a lot of practical effects, props and extras, which could have made the movie to such an entertaining one overall, but unfortunately, it gets heavily overshadowed by the disappointing storyline, dialogues, actors and other technical aspects. Several elements in the story didn't make sense, the actors weren't really good, and there was very little flow because of the dialogue and the weird editing. As said, the practical effects are great, and it's noticeable that the main focus has been on those elements, but usually there has to be something more than that, which I don't think it is in this case.
This movie's visual elements are impressive, but its narrative, dialogue, and acting fall short, leaving a disjointed and unsatisfying experience.
