Blood Brothers

I actually enjoyed watching this one which was a thirties gangster movie that takes place in Shanghai. Production values were great. Cinematography was great.

But it was a bit overwrought and it was sometimes difficult to follow what exactly was going on or to tell which character was on the screen at a time because the three main actors all looked so much alike.
