The segmented sword at the end really breaks the feeling of the film
I was going to say, that and some other things (mostly near the end) turned a movie I was enjoying into something I haven't gone back to watch again. When that sword popped out and they started fighting I had an odd feeling of deja-vu like the director had an infatuation with Ivy.

Other than that it was a very good movie, I did wish they had more scenes wearing those awesome raincoats though ;)

I thought EXACTLY the same thing. What a shame.

I mean why ON EARTH, when everything else has a somewhat rational explanation for it, pop out that scifi silliness? Fucking artsy frogs.

But I write it off as so glaring because the rest was so good. I'm probably rationalizing.

Seconded! It needed another half hour of fighting in the rain badassery!

If you like foreign action movies, I highly recommend the Police Story films, they are the best of the HK action movies.

As a side note, I always like it when I see other people use the word hamfisted.
