Jiu long bu bai

A Chinese movie. It is a kind of action thriller. Totally crazy. The effects are lousy, quite a few moments are poorly achieved and caricatured, in fact the dragon is too exaggerated. Disappoints in visual effects. The performances are not entirely accomplished. The choreographies of well executed blows. The script seems written by a teenager. Although the story is not bad. It fulfills its function which is to entertain but only that. It is about a detective who has to have a revolver in a case of murdering female police officers and the incidents he does to achieve it.

In short: Not recommended, not a good production overall. One of those three stars is for the budget which partially seems to have been there, one is for costume/backdrop and stagework, i would detract 1 for both martial arts choreography (overly complicated spinkicks and pushkicks that would never work or be used) put on that horrible effects and u got a really bad movie. This can barely be compared to the old 70's and 80'skung fu movies. This is bad, the only saving grace is the plotline which first denotes the dragon as metaphorical and keeps the interest not fully dead.

This movie is a Hong Kong production and the DVD comes with a Cantonese version. All the main characters of this movie are from all over the world but not Hong Kong. Anderson Silva is Brazilian American. Kevin Cheng and Juju Chan are Chinese American from San Francisco and New York. Annie Liu is from Taiwan and Jin Zhang is from China. None of them are native Cantonese speakers. Their dialogues in Cantonese are so funny and not one person can speak fluent Cantonese. Skip the Cantonese version.

This is the worst of the worst movies out of Hong Kong so far in 2019. It might become the champion of the worst movie ever made in Hong Kong. What a big joke, man. The screenplay is so childish and ridiculous, the directing, the costume and make-up, the....Well, none of them was right, just ridiculously bad. The hair stylist for the leading actor should be fired. It's just bad, through and through. Zhang Jin was totally wasted by this absurd movie, and he should be aware that if he kept signing up to play roles in such kinda lousy movies with so laughable screenplays and bad directors, soon he'd be marginalized and pushed aside as a B-level actor. All the supporting actors in this movie also suck big time. Nothing is right, so don't waste your time and money to watch this brain-dead movie. It'll harm your brain.

It is average action movie. Though story is interesting script is some messy makes us to loose interest. There is no shocking suspense for serial killing. This part is so weak. Other hand leading action star Jin Zhang does not impress us as his previous movies like 'Kill Zone', ' Grandmaster' etc. He is impressive martial arts actor especially for his flying actions. Lady yoga trainer is another attraction for this spiritless story plot. Her fight with Jin in train is main interesting part in the movie as me. Over all movie is once time watchable not with expectation of perfect action movie.
