    Nonsensical marketing hype! No CAT. III film from HK has ever been like that, nor have many hardcore films here which are a good deal more "realistic." Just trying to hype the 3-D aspect.

    Still, you've got to give credit to someone for exploiting 3-D for a non-comic book/action film.

    Give Edison and Stephen Shiu credit. Both are hype machines extraordinaire.
