  I love historical movies... and when I had a chance to see White Vengeance, also known as Hong Men Yan, I took my chance without hesitation. Director Daniel Lee made interesting male-dominated film with a female (Y... read moreuji) as a key character. The story is based on events in the Chu-Han Contention period of Chinese history and the Chinese title is a reference to the banquet of Hongmen, a well-known event in 206 B.C. where warring general Xiang Yu was motivated to assassinate Liu Bang, his rival.
  
  There is lots of star potential in this movie with Leon Lai, Feng Shaofeng, Liu Yifei, Zhang Hanyu, Anthony Wong, Jordan Chan, Andy On, Xiu Qing and Jia Qing, and they did the best they could with a director who lacked 'mojo'... yes... exactly that! Nice shots, a little bit complicated story for most Westerners not familiar with the Chinese history, screenplay with nice twists, good acting but everything was let down by a directing which was just without passion - I'll call it almost impotent! Mechanical, with no real feel for the rhythm of the story Daniel Lee made just an average movie which missed an opportunity to become great!
