It's flawless as far as the fight scenes and atmosphere are concerned, although it is a bit weaker in terms of the story. I think they wanted to get too much done in those two hours. Acting-wise, it's excellent. Dong-geun Yang gave a great and believable performance. I think he has a bit of Jang Hyuk and Rain in him, which is a killer combination for me. I don't really seek out martial arts movies, but I should probably check one out now and then. 4 stars.
