Synopsis: When the mysterious deaths of many loyal subjects threaten the inauguration of Empress Wu Zetian (Carina Lau) in 690 A.D, China's only female leader is forced to summon the infamous Detective Dee (Andy Lau) back from exile after she cast him out eight long years ago.
An average HK Gong Fu movie centered around Andy Lau, which is its only saving grace. With the exception of Andy Lau, the other characters in the movies feel under developed and fragmented. I could not really connect with them. The pace of the movie could well do to have slowed down a bit, giving more room for the audience to absorbed what is being shown. The final ending is quite a disappointment, with the death of the female lead, which I feel the director should not have let that happened.
Rate: 6/10
