I have it. I haven't watched the movie yet, but the game is awesome. If you like John Woo movies, it's totally worth playing. It's a pretty straightforward shoot-em-up; nothing too complicated. The levels are really fun, with tons of stuff to blast into little bitty pieces. Very bloody too.

I watched a couple of minutes of the movie just to make sure it was working. IIRC it wasn't great, but it didn't look as bad as some people are making it out to be. It seems to just be an HD version of the same transfer used for the Dragon Dynasty DVD. Apparently the image is very slightly cropped, but it wasn't too noticeable when I looked at it.

I paid something like $22 for it, which IMO was a steal.
