Customer Rating: Summary: Better than I thought... Comment: I saw this film a week ago, bought it as soon as it came out, and I have to say the movie surpassed my expectations.
The film focuses on two brothers (Donnie Yen & Nicholas Tse) who went their path to find their destiny. One chose to stay in the "Gate", a school for martial arts, and one chose to leave to find his path, eventually found his way as part of a triad. At first, the two brothers found themselves on opposing sides, until as fate would have it, the brothers found themselves in a common goal along with a nunchaku swinging stranger to avenge their uncle's death,(the sensei of the Gate)aginst a self-proclaimed Master who wants to take over the triad.
The action scenes are well-done. The cinematography is brilliant, and the screenplay was very good for one adapted from a comic book(DRAGON GATE HEROES). The gap between the beginning and the climax is a bit slow, and it sometimes felt that the two women (Xiao and Rosa)were only for eye-candy but thankfully their roles were redeemed when Xiao met Qui and Rosa(One of the hottest women on film)made a sacrifice for the heroes.
The DVD from Deltamac IS AMAZING! (I'm not sure if it is the one sold in Amazon)Picture quality is clean and the DTS-ES audio shakes my living room.
This film is recommended for Martial arts fantasy fans, although it is inferior to Donnie Yen's other classic, SPL(Killzone, U.S. title), it is very much worth a Watch.
