I tried to made a decision within 30 seconds, and I found out that taking 29 seconds on making a decision leads to watching another movie that you have no idea of. (Well no much of not knowing, when the name of the movie already told you half of whats going on.)
Ciao Fei: I'm awesome, I have Indiana Jones and Rick O’ Connell DNA in me.
Du Lin story is about a writer, Lan Ting that wants to find a new chapter on her adventure story telling and gets herself in to the adventure. (50% kidnapped in to the adventure, with 50% of her own will) after the death of her father.) Kidnapped by Pork Rib not knowing her father death, she woke up in the middle of the dessert, only after Ciao Fei shows up. Ciao Fei (as her father loyal aide) break the news as he tries to rescue her.
Lan Ting: Love me and I blow your f'king head off
Ciao Fei: Try your luck doll, didn't I tell you that I can assemble and disassemble a gun in less than 10 seconds.
After some fights of a kick-ass zombie (who has his story cuts off right after he was beaten by Fei; some mysterious Sandstorm Legion tearing a building apart and chase scene (who has their story cuts off after some dynamite blast); Hawk final fantasy fight of becoming the legendary Eagle of the Desert (who has his story ends after he almost pawned his lover) the story then finally leads in to the lost tomb where the treasure is buried.
Hawk: Sorry Fei, I'll make your hole this big (3 fingers wide) with this blade.
The story finally patched and weaved when they are in the lost tomb. Finally when you are hoping for some action that relates to the story, Rib's men turn in to zombie and Fei, being the hero killed by both the zombie by his skills and luck, which is lucky enough to have Hua's appearance (out of no where) in stopping the trap.
Lan Ting: Die Zombie Die!!!
The mystery of everything reveals at the last tomb, which Ting's father quest has finally been fulfill (in a sense of) and Hua finally tell his tale of how he as the only survivor from the lost tomb.
Pork Rib: Shut up!, don't make me throw you with bricks! gold bricks!
In the end, 6 found the tomb and only 3 survived (why the legion never came back was a mystery). Ting was back in to business after launching her latest book Chi Lin (the treasure hunters), turn her ex-editor down and lead her own life.
Pork Rib: Hey darling, how about the treasure hunters 2?
Lan Ting: Sorry bro, the fans are going to kill me if there was a 2.
In a manner to end this, I figure out that du lin would be a great film if it went through some depth of story telling; but as it was already release I figure it was more of a Taiwan way of telling the world: We can make good CGI's! Sorry bro, not the story.
