Filled with enough red paint to coat a dozen buildings, this energetic action movie isn’t exactly filled with memorable characters or thought-provoking ideas. But when the bodies are flying like they are in this Lung Wei Wang epic, who cares? The story follows three young gangsters as they fight to protect their family from a hostile takeover, which is just enough of a story to hang two hours of fierce fighting from. If it had been made with today’s special effects, meaning the blood looked more like blood than red paint, this movie would be almost too intense to watch. As it is, it’s still going to be tough for the squeamish to make it to the end.
