StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Leofwine_draca THE CONSPIRACY OF THIEVES is a typically routine Taiwanese kung fu programmer set and in around a casino. A bunch of ruthless gangsters show up and bump off the owner in order to take over the place and profit from it themselves. Cue the appearance of Dorian 'Flash Legs' Tan as the white-suited hero who shows up to clean the place out. A very simple plot is dragged out endlessly here, and the brief, routine fight scenes don't add up to much. Visually, the white suits and early 20th century attire feel inspired by Shaw Brothers hits such as VENGEANCE and BOXER FROM SHANTUNG, but this doesn't even come close.
