When i hear that the movie is gonna be action and with Donnie as a a main star, it always bring happiness to me, because you know, that this movie will be at least fight-action blast, so do Nou Fo or Raging Fire, but it has it's flaws.
Story is pretty typical, especially if you are a big fan of chinese/korean action movies, standart story about revenge, betrayal, family and some morality. Only the problem for Nou Fo is that it takes too much time to "build up" everything we know and see before and didn't add something special. So for the duration of 2.00 hours +-, there are lik 80% of talks, drama, obvious cliche's and 20% of action, which can be bad if you are expecting a non-stop brutal fights along the way.
Action scenes, that rares parts of them, - fast, bloody, and beautiful, even though gunfights are bad due to very cheap graphics, but hand-to-hand are worth to watch. Graphic itself are bad. Car chasing, car crashes, fire, explosions.
Heroes on other hands are suffering from the same problem as a story, almost all of them are just copies from other famous characters, especially the bad guys with no proper logic to their actions.
Overral, if you love action movies and you love Donnie's works - this is must see, even thougt if wont fulfill the hunger for action, but in other case its not worth that much time.
