There's some really good stuff in this flick. Jiang Wen is great, and I forgot how much I enjoy Chow. CYF takes on a dual role and totally nails both. I forgot what a great comedian he can be. I think a lot of the puns are lost in translation, and if you don't have a basic grasp of Confucian hierarchy and etiquette, as well as mahjong, a lot might seem nonsensical. But enjoyable overall. More gun fights than sword fights.
Thanks for bringing this one up, ED. I'm glad I sought it.
