For a Few Bullets (2016)

Although it was a chinese movie the only word I can come up with is "Jinja Daebak " !
It has really everything that you expect from an action/romantic movie. Plenty of action, romance and lots of funny scenes everytime with a twist, something that I personally like in an action movie.

Story:
Everyone in the plot included are looking for the Emperor's seal (as in seal stamp- just saying so there 're no misunderstandings ) ! That's the main point, the fun part is how they are doing it ! That includes everything, if I say anything further it will be considered spoiling.

Acting:
The acting was as always superb I adore and love his facial expresions from the lead actor (Lin Geng Xin) as in other projects of his. That was the reason I watched the movie but fell in love with the whole cast and their interacting .

Music: It wasn't something you would expect to see in the Billboard 100 or 200 but it was at the right place at the right time, covering every move or action that took place .

Overall it was an enjoyable movie and I would definitely rewatch it !

I agree how absurd the whole thing is, but I actually loved it! Maybe because of my bias to Lin Geng Xin... But although it was all absurd, it was not a try hard one, it was an intentional kind of absurd. Which made me like it so. The movie is long, and super super messy, there are so many unnecessary plot or maybe characters, and also to its political underlying issue, all of it added up, is a bit much. Though I'd like to compliment on the political issue, it was done nicely, I am not a fan of political stressful situations, but they made it digestible. Also the graphics are great and look modern. Music is very fun and makes it more inviting. If you are in need of a good laugh, this will not fail to give you plenty! Recommend!

The sheer absurdity of this film.

Words cannot comprehend but I also can't post pictures so words will have to do.

It's an honor among thieves caper as the plot revolves around stealing some royal jade. The acting is good from both respective leads. Their chemistry was intense. Good looking people attracting other good looking people. I do feel like the film even though it deals with sensitive topics regarding Chinese and Japanese history doesn't take it self seriously to be thought distasteful. I mean, there's some supernatural elements that can't be explained other than it looks cool.

If you need to watch something to take your mind off, I'd recommend something else but if this is the last film on earth that you're ever going to see... Maybe read a book instead. I don't recommend this to any history buffs, that's for sure.
