Console best movie i've ever seen.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

louloulou318 The film tried its best to give the audiences a good taste of real Beijing. Beijing was the Capital of the most powerful empire for about 500 to 600 years. The old China was invaded and then developed by the Party. Somehow something haven't been changed in this historical city -- people keep all their promises and strangers trust each other.Everyone behave morally so that regulation and laws were almost not useful. But culture changed in recent decades, the new generation learned a lot from the outside world and people become materialistic and greedy. The thing that is commonly appreciated today is love between lovers. While 2200 years ago Confucius educated every Chinese that people should always love each other. So that everyone is trusted, everyone's feeling is being considered. It is an idea towards an idea world.Mr Six is a man having warm heart to everyone, it is like love to everyone, he kept all his promises but still he got hurt by the current world. By having Mr Six dead, the film want us know that good things,especial trust between people, no matter it is about Beijing, about China, or even about western world, are dying.

bcheng93 wow...the 2 hrs and change just flew by. i did'nt want this movie to end. this is a movie for people who love good movies. most of the people who dislike the movie were mislead into thinking it had some action in it. .......there is no action in this movie...not one iota.... it had suspenseful moments galore though. ex-gangsters and gangsters would totally dig this movie...hahaha...no joke. totally loved the scenes of normal Chinese life and there was a lot of that shown too. very very good suspense thriller movie with its own message to tell. old china clashes with new china head-on...who wins? watch the movie to find out...and people expecting any sort of action....stay away from this movie.

subxerogravity Mr. Six was a Beijing crime boss who still has the respect of his hood despite being long retired, but he gets back into the game when his son gets into some trouble, owing rich privilege kids some money. It's not as action packed as I thought it would be from the plot line, Yet it's still very appealing as if you are watching an action movie.It's a lot like Unforgiven, as Mr. Six spends the film trying to reconnect with old ties in order to help his son. It was interesting seeing him handle himself ageist a foe that does not care about his past. The actor who played Mr. Six was very successful in his low key style of acting.It was funny and charming and dramatic perfectly at the same time.

wangxuancast This movie is really a cultural thing and it's for the people that grew in Beijing. Gladly, I am. Even a lot of Chinese people can't understand it since it contains a lot of Beijing dialect. As a guy born in Beijing and lived there for 15 years. I can't understand all the dialect in the movie. So it is impossible for foreigners to have a perfect experience on this movie since the dialect is the part that makes it a good movie (unless you're really good at Chinese and actually lived in Beijing for many years).Although I admit there is some bad acting choice or bad filming, but it is a realistic represent of those Beijing "Lao Pao er". It appeals a lot to Chinese. Right now, we're losing a lot of these dialect and culture, this movie is about help us to recollect those tradition.My advise is: Don't watch it. If you are interested in it and going to watch it, take it easy, don't have any thoughts like "this movie is gonna be amazing" before you watch it. The target consumers is Chinese (and mainly some of the Chinese). Asking foreigners to truly understand this movie is like asking a man to use a sanitary napkin.
