Cast Member: Yao Lu

The result is a good big-budget action film though enjoyment will rest on how much Chinese flag-waving you can sit through.

What starts off as quite interesting and engaging becomes progressively more disjointed meaning drama and characters suffer.

Impressive production values, an excellent cast and a few moments of genuine inspiration (courtesy of Sammo Hung’s action choreography) make the minutes fly be.

Entertaining in parts with a game cast on good form but frustratingly uneven and unsatisfying a film as a whole, ‘Let the Bullets Fly’ lays on the political subtext but forgets to have fun with it.
