The first 20 minutes of this movie was bafflingly bad compared to all that would follow. The movie progressively got better and better as it went on, and taken as a whole, with part 2, this is a phenomenal movie. on its own, it would only get 3.5 stars, but this really is a situation where part 2 is just the second half of the movie, and at the end of the journey, I was very impressed. The love story elements are both entertaining to watch, while also being very interesting from a narrative standpoint. Chow is excellent, like he always is. The ending is very strong, and kind of heartbreaking. Definitely worth a watch.
