Great script

stop lecturing people about what is artistic or not artistic. this movie plain sucks. you sound like someone who have to love something just because people tells us it is cool and good and you acted like you are supposed to like it because it is cool.

the director and writer doesn't know about enough the Chinese language and how Cantonese is spoken and its nuances and every words except those spoken by Francis Ng and Ti Lung sounds like they are reading word by word from a script instead of actually acting. they are not natural at all. The original voices of Francis Ng and Ti Lung are in Cantonese and you are silly for insisting it to be dubbed in Mandarin.

are you sure you know how Chinese people really speak and how Cantonese is really spoken? and Cantonese is an overrated dialect? Mandarin is also just another dialect which was MADE INTO AN OFFICIAL LANGAUGE BY THE PEOPLE REPUBLIC OF CHINA. Mandarin is not superior to Cantonese and neither is Cantonese superior to Mandarin. nothing more ! nothing less! read more about history before you start spouting off nonsense. you are just showing the world what a farking moron you are!

this movie is comparable to Johnnie To? it is not even comparable to slapstick nonsensical comedy by Stephen Chow. There is absolutely nothing special, mysterious, original, thrilling and artistic about this movie. it is a very simple straightaway movie about a reluctant assassin and shot in a pretentious MTV style that the director think is cool but come across as belaboured and contrived. everything about this movie has been done to death already by both HongKong and Hollywood filmmakers.

comparable to Memento? just because it shows flashback? Reverse time-frame movies like Memento and Irreversible works by structuring every part of the movie to work flow smoothly both forward and backward. this movie just uses flashback. it is not Memento in anyway imaginable.

I have been told IMDB are full of farking cultist fanboy morons who talk a lot of crap about things they don't understand and about how cool a movie are just because they are hyped as cool or just because they feel superior to like something different. I experienced first-hand just how farking stupid and ignorant fanboyist people in this very section.

This was a chinese movie made in Korea. I liked it, especially the theme song...anyone know where I can download it?

After almost 3 years, I watched this movie again (as I said I love Asian movies and this was on TV).

I have no idea why, I understood it in a totally different way than first time. Once again I was really amazed by Francis Ng acting skills, and the plot and directing are excellent. I think the first time I got carried away by the funny/foolish moments.

As Darkmax said, there are confusing scenes, but in the end if you followed up the movie correctly it gets crystal clear, and this is what left me with a good impression this time. Maybe this movie just needs more attention, it's not the classic hitman flic where you just watch shooting and that's it. This one has a nice plot and a totally different directing approach.

What over-rated dialect? Cantonese may be an over-rated language in Singapore. I think the official language in Singapore is Malay. I think you're not Chinese. Cantonese is Hong Kong and Canton (Guangzhou) language. And Bruce Lee spoke Cantonese and English not Mandarin.
