In an older China, a young man tries to become a member of the Axe gang. This gang of robbers and murderers tries to scare and steal from anyone in their neighbourhood.
Unfortunately for them, there are a mysterious landlord and -lady with strange powers who can't be defeated. Than the Axe-gang releases The Beast, a monster of a fighter, whose single task is to kill the landlord and -lady. But Sing true nature might have a role as well.
7,5/10
A very good mix of action, crime, humor and martial arts. The people are good actors, but they do suffer from the typical Oriental 'overacting especially with the mimics'-problem. Apart from that, you can have a good laugh.
The action is very nice, but the real good action takes to long to start. There's also a lot of CGI and wirework. Personally, I like to see the real skills, without trampolines and wires. But still, Chow did a good performance, especially on the end.
