As stated above, Jackie has always been playing goody goody characters either as a cop or some kungfu master in his previous works. So it's maybe refreshing to see him as a totally diff person on this movie.
Daniel Wu also sways from his previous acts, playing a more down to earth dude, innocent-like man who definitely will gain sympathy from viewers.
And throughout the show, I see familiar faces of Japanese actors.
Remember Nodame Cantabile? Yes, apparently i got the shock of my life to see the German composer (forgot his name) as a cop here. And i'd totally give him thumb ups for speaking rather fluent Chinese (Mandarin) in here as well. I mean, even without subs, you'd get what he's trying to say, and to me, as I've seen quite a lot of failed attempts especially from Japanese actors/actresses to speak foreign languages, he's considered good.
And well, since it's Jackie's film let's revert back to him and the movie. LEt's just say that viewers will get a chance to see another side of him, the badass side. (not entirely evil, but yeah). And the movie also depicts the Japanese mobsters and gang fights and etc...(it's just like a Japanese version of Hong Kong gangster movie, you see).
One thing I learned from this?
We should all believe in karma.
