Some editing would have helped.

The movie starts out showing promise with a couple of wicked action scenes in a restaurant and warehouse. But the last half of the movie completely wasted this with a really long and rather boring hospital shootout. I was left looking at the time wondering when it was all going to end. I love action movies so it surprised me that there was such a thing as too much action, but there is only so much shooting of faceless and endless henchmen I could take. Chow Yun-Fat was pretty much the same guy he is in all his Asian cinema movies which isn't a bad thing. Tony Leung was solid as usual even though he doesn't have much meat in the part as some of his more serious roles. Overall I expected to like this movie much more but the endless shootout really turned me off.
