A viewer might expect the film’s widescreen, busy images to fill with revenge-action sequences. But in its own way, Mr. Six is much more about a unique man adjusting an out-of-fashion personal code for a new type of crisis in the shadow of his mortality.

Scored to a beautiful, introspection-oriented saxophone score, Mr. Six surprises by attempting to delve behind Feng’s sometime-inscrutable facade, rather than pushing its leading man toward action.

Staying just on the serious side of funny, Feng’s Mr Six is a fine, savoury creation.

Plotted with limited imagination and directed with atypical flatness, Mr. Six features a strong central performance and shares its humanistic concern with Hu Guan’s previous work but is nevertheless an artistic underachiever.

The baggy 137-minute story drowns out Mr. Feng’s assorted sharp moments with hoary family drama and clumsy plotting, and Li Yifeng is generic as Mr. Six’s son.

This movie requires a background in northern China to appreciate its unique cultural aspect. For Westerners, especially those interested in politics, this movie can be particularly interesting because it depicts a nostalgia of the 1950s' and 60s' Beijing. The protagonists grew up from the streets in Cultural Revolution, the most turmoil era of Chinese capital, therefore established an unique lifestyle and social rule. It is interesting to know that the current president of China was one of them.
