Dragon Tiger Gate
DRAGON TIGER GATE (2006) - June 6, 2010
Hmmm... About a couple of estranged brothers who were brought up at a school for kung-fu, and the stuff that happens. Honestly, I'm having a hard time summing this movie up, as it was never particularly clear what it was about. It was pretty muddled; in particular, I had no idea who the bad guy was, or what his deal was -- why did he want to kill the main characters? What was at stake? I really wasn't sure. The movie kind of felt like it was originally much longer, and was cut down in a really sloppy way. I'm not sure if that's actually the case, though I suspect it is; it was a bit of a mess. Aside from that, it was decently directed by Wilson Yip, and featured some expectedly exciting action (though it was much more over-the-top and wirey than the previous Yip / Donnie Yen collaborations). **
