great movie!

Although the movie starts off pretty slow, its done this way so we see the characters' personalities more in depth to prepare us for the ending. The acting was amazing which delivers enough emotions that they carry weight through the entire movie. The only exception is Leon Lai's character who did not seem to have much of a character arc. Other than that, the action is great, especially in the films final chaotic act where the bodyguards attempt to fend off the assassins with the highlight being the fight with Donnie Yen. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this movie to anybody!
