My Penny of View : The story line was very simple. It was took place during Revolutions against Manchu Qing Dynasty. Dr Sun Zhong San was a leader for the Revolutions. He went to Hong Kong to have meeting with other leaders from different states to discuss about the strategy to ensure the Revolutions successful
Therefore, he have became the target of Manchu Qing Dynasty but due to Hong Kong was conquered by British, so they can't murder Dr Sun open and aboveboard. They have send a group of martial arts experts led by Hu Jun to kill Dr Sun. Tony Leung was one of the Dr Sun's supporters. He arranged the meeting and he made sure Dr Sun was safe during the journey to Hong Kong. Tony Leung sought for the local Tycoon played by Wang Xue Qi for financial support. When Tony caught by the Machu assassins, the Tycoon led a group of bodyguards to ensure the mission will accomplish. It's a sacrificial of self for the greater good of the community at large, knowing the dangers involved, with the hopes of a new future pinned to the survival of one charismatic man that was Dr Sun. Many people died before, during and after Dr Sun's arrival. Thanks to the great scarification, the Revolutions was successful and now China is one of great country in the world.

When Dr Sun sat in trishaw and went through the streets of Hong Kong, it made me think of setting for video game. The Manchu assassins attacked the trishaws at various pit stops and yet they still able to escape. When Dr Sun arrived at the place for meeting, his substitute continued his journey to his old house. Here we go again the setting video game. When Wang Xue Qi recruiting the bodyguards optimized the dangerous of the mission. Donnie Yen as mercenary gambler was the main actor of the movie. His fight with Chung Le provided one of the major set action piece but somehow it was not as good as Ip Man.
