  Rather disapointing.
  
  Being a fan of Stephen Chow, and being a fan of Korean cinema, I really was expecting more from this. But over all I was very disapointed, even bored.

  Starts as an interesting action/comedy that plays with some conventions but loses it's way a bit towards the bloated end.

  Slow...
  
  I'm sure that there are many redeeming features to this movie, but unfortunately I kept dozing off during it, so was unable to follow the story...
