   Not Bad Blood, just…bad

   Don't you hate it when the first half of the movie is unrelentingly
   badass only for the second half to turn it into a steaming pile of
   crap? Simon Yam is listed as the star of this movie, but it really is
   Andy On. He has developed into a genuinely skilled martial artist with
   a tough guy attitude and he has plenty of scenes in this movie to show
   it off. Nicky Li does the choreography, which is aggressive,
   hard-hitting, violent, and requires athleticism to pull off. Li also
   did Invisible Target and Legendary Assassin (both Wu Jing vehicles);
   picture Wu Jing's speed combined with Tony Jaa's visceral power and
   that's the kind of fighting you get to see Andy On do here. His fight
   against Ken Lo in an empty dojo is particularly outstanding.

   Except…the film itself sucks, and sucks bad. I can't explain why it's
   so terrible without spoiling it, but I will say that the second half
   feels more like a horror movie more than an action thriller. There are
   movies with heavy darkness and grittiness to them that can be
   compelling (see: Dog Bite Dog) but this movie will instead make you
   crack up repeatedly at its ridiculously bad script and predictable
   storyline.

   In fact, I wanted to laugh at how bad it was, but I was too busy being
   mad at how bad it was, if that makes any sense.

   Oh, did I mention that Andy On is ridiculously badass?

   Nice action,beautiful villain, everything else is real bad.

   Talk about underusing talent. Here you got Simon Yam,Andy On,Luxia
   Jiang and more recognizable faces. The moment you see Simon Yam you
   will be asking yourself what he is doing in a movie like this. Because
   this movie is real bad. With a cast like this this movie should have
   been a bad ass movie. Dennis Law is a terrible writer and even more
   terrible director. And you can see that the action scenes are directed
   by another guy since they are good and basically save this movie. There
   is one other redeeming factor and it's the movie villain. Bernice Liu
   doesn't blow you away with a stellar performance but still she manages
   to convince the audience that she is bad to the bone. Her looks helped
   in enhancing that. As I said earlier the action scenes are pretty good.
   Only wished there were more off them. I also missed some validity for
   not using guns especially in the opening scene. A gang of crooks are
   chased by cops and for some reason the cops don't shoot. In stead they
   resort to hand to hand combat. I love martial arts but a scene like
   this screamed for a big shootout. And this opening scene pretty much
   shows what is wrong with this movie. The lack of excitement. Bad blood
   is worth your time if you are craving for some nice action. Other than
   that it is forgettable.
