This is Jackie Chan's 100th film, and it comes at the 100th anniversary of Xinhai (1911) revolution.
The movie has a bit of identity crisis, it seems like the scriptwriter doesn't know what he/she wants to portrait for this movie, whether it is a movie of history, a war movie, a movie of love, or whatever. It seems like the movie wants all, but then unfortunately achieves none beautifully.
What is more sad is that, the wishes of the revolution's leader, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, one century after the 1911 revolution, are still not fully fulfilled.
