江湖(Jiang Hu)

the visual is stunning and attractive, especially the fight at High Street. The story is obviously inspired from many gangster movies, but it is still OK. The ending is terribly weak. It is fine to reveal the parallel plots are indeed one central plot at the end of the movie, but it can be treated in more intelligent ways. It also could not convince the audiences why Jacky betrayed Andy, and then gave up the assassination easily. Overall, a premature script lacks thoughtful development. Besides, the music by Mark are very familiar, especially those from the deleted scenes, one is from Matrix, another one is from Black Hawk Down.
