I watched this with an open mind, knowing quite a bit about the film and it's twists and turns. This is a flawed masterpiece though. As it switches from one genre to another during its three hour length it does keep you watching, but you also start to watch the clock after two hours. Entertaining with some great action sequences, it is the films running time that eventually mars the overall experience. The film is generally slow paced throughout, but it does get lazy towards the end. Worth watching just because of the classic status of this film. It does feature in small roles some of the people who went on to be genre greats in the seventies and eighties. (Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan to name just two.) I think you have to want the experience of this one. This is not a film to rent if you are not prepared to stick with it.
