Nice plot and storyline about a group of hit-men. I liked the cinematography and the way it has been filmed to show the ordinary life in Hong Kong. It is just that the killing methods seem to be weak and those scenes are bit too artificial. That shouldn't have colored my perspective about the whole movie, but it did. When you start thinking about a technicality, "oh, that can't happen" (ie: a 30-second full solar eclipse) then your spell is broken and the story falls apart. As I said in the beginning, good idea for a plot but the execution (pun intended) needed more realism. My Rating: 6.5
