  • Let The Bullets Fly (2010)

    Comedy aside, the story hinges on cunning plans and double bluffs that, when they work, are very effective indeed.

    Jennie Kermode · 3.5 out of 5
    Jiang Wen's rumbustious comedy-adventure, set in the 1920s, is an Eastern Western. Chow Yun-Fat, Ge You and Jiang himself star as the three unscrupulous men vying for control of Goose Town: fun performances, and lots of flying bullets.
