Lose Focus

As usual, Jiang Wen served as the director, screenwriter, and actor of the film, but this time he seems to have lost focus. Occasionally, the aura is reminding the audience from time to time that the movie is relatively safe and relatively interesting. The lantern-style character rushed to show the world view to the audience, so Jiang Wen's quick editing with full tension turned into a rush in the film. Seeing the end, I feel that it is a sloppy ending in the sense of reason, and the sensibility feels "finally over."

Master piece movie

Director and writer spend a lot of effort to this movie. U have to understand China history to understand easter egg in this movie. It's make no sense in many way but very strange that u start to accept by its unique way with beautiful sound track of telling stories to u. U have to watch a few times to discover the hidden message in this movie and u can go to school become history teacher.

Kevin Spacey is missing

I can't resist the ROC and the old Peking flavor in this film. Liao Fan's performance shows the real calibre of his acting skills.

The director want to say too much, but he don't want the audience to understand.

The director want to say too much, but he don't want the audience to understand. There's too much drama on the roof and it doesn't make any sense. Some of the first passages are quite good, but the latter is pure self-liberation. Audience? It does not exist.

Funny and nothing

The personal style is strong, the performance is disastrous and the pacing is chaotic, but it's still kind of funny to watch

Trivia
The American superior of Lan Qingfeng was played by Kevin Spacey. That storyline of spies was deleted due to the censorship problems, then the scene of this character giving Tianran order in the beginning was re-shot with another actor replacing Spacey. For the same reason, almost all the scenes of Lan Lan, played by Meng Li, were deleted.
