This is a MAINLAND CHINA movie, with absolutely zero funding or input from Hong Kong other than a couple of actors known for their histories within the HK industry. This is one of the problems the modern Hong Kong industry faces: viewers jumbling both industries together and/or defaulting to the Cantonese audio track on whichever format they view any new "Chinese" film. It really does the struggling HK industry a disservice to lump these awful Mainland pictures into the mix. Aside from that, though he's right: this is a very dull film.
