It opens to the usual "who are these two guys and why are they fighting?" plus a pocket watch. It is soon explained that someone was sent to kill the "60 second assassin" but failed. The assassin arrives at the target's place and reads him his list of crimes then kills him in under a minute. Next he goes to visit his brother who disapproves of his career choice.
The movie seems to go totally off course when the fat kid enters the story. Dean Shek salvages a bit of it. The fat kid wants to learn kung fu and this leads to his death and the death of his family. Man Lee- Pang finally learns that his boss, Leung Kar-Yan is a bad guy and has been deceiving him all along. This leads to the final fight.
Yes, the fights were excellent especially the final fight. Yet I felt the rest of the movie came across as filler material. This was mostly due to I found the kid annoying. That's always a risk when using children as actors. Overall I will only rate this as average for the year and genre.
