Great depiction of Dr Sun's attempted revolution in China
By AJ01 (9 reviews) from London , 23 Jun 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
This film tells the story of Dr Sun's visit to Hong Kong and the troubles that surrounded it. Dr Sun was a revolutionist in China in the 1900's he wanted a more westernised government established in China which was hugely controversial at the time, so the government wanted him dead. Lucky for him he has an all star cast of revolutionists to keep him safe.
This is not your typical action movie, it has a great story, fantastic acting, heart wrenching moments and of course some kick ass fight scenes.
All in all I would highly recommend this film, hence the 5 stars.- Was this review helpful to you?

Period drama has it all
By a customer , 26 Mar 2013Don't know how historically accurate this is, but it wasn't what I expected: interesting, tense, poignant, harrowing, and often moving, if possibly a bit predictable towards the end.- Was this review helpful to you?

You will be amazed how bad movie can be
By vaclove (8 reviews) , 11 Mar 2013Simplified plot o historical events. I was hoping for strong story or good kung-fu. Neither of that was delivered. Stupidity of some of the scenes is just outrageous. Avoid wasting your time with this movie.- Was this review helpful to you?

Excellent watch!
By a customer , 06 Feb 2013english title was misleading but not the Chinese title. Very good movie. Has all the elements, political thriller with action, emotions, tensions, love and sacrifice etc. One of the best movies I've seen without CGI! Very good story line, excellent actors, well choreographed martial arts and stunt sequences. You don't really get so many elements packed in a movies now.- Was this review helpful to you?
