Latest Review
Good Story line
What I loved most: Shaolin Kung Fu
What I really hated: Nil
The training of the Shaolin not only the Kung Fu, it also emcompassed very strong moral and trained the individual to have strong determinations. Hou Jie (Andy Lau) has his soft side, loved and care her family, especially his daughter. The scene where he attempted to save her daughter was very excited where he risked his life. The last part where he fought with Cao Man (Nicholas Tse) has also demonstrated very strong moral.
