The Chinese film follows a beautiful but aloof government official as she has to ally with a con man to stop the Japanese military getting a national treasure which is the imperial seal.
Seizing his chance to lighten up here, [Lin] turns in a charming performance as a rakish con man with a winning smile and a quick wit, which is the best thing about this uneven movie.
With its charming actors, "For a Few Bullets," directed by Pan Anzi, has its heart in the right place, I suppose. Where its head is, though, I can't quite say.
