Once again we are in a place where storytelling has taken a backseat to digital effects. It has not made movies better.
And Drinker gets extra points (in my book) for referencing Hard Boiled, a classic action film directed by John Woo and staring Chow Yun-fat. If you have not seen Hard Boiled, you should. You might be able to get a DVD from your local library. (I think that is how I first saw it.) It is also part of The Criterion Collection, so it is probably streaming somewhere. That movie is probably why you know Chow Yun-fat's name. It wasn't his first action film, and it wasn't his last, but it just might be the best of the stuff he made with John Woo.
