Plot: The plot centers around a basic revenge setup. As a kid, Li Tianran witnessed the murder of his entire family. Li, too, is left for dead by his assailants, but he is rescued by a doctor who just happens to pass by and takes Li with him to America to recover. When Li reaches adulthood, he returns to China, hoping to take revenge on the people who ruined his childhood. Of course, things don't go quite as planned, and Li gets caught in a web of betrayal, uncertain of people's agendas and intentions. It's all pretty standard genre fare, no doubt most people are already familiar with the ins and outs of revenge cinema.

Good to see Wen Jiang still has it. For the larger part Hidden Man is on par with Let the Bullets Fly, featuring that same, smirky light-heartedness that makes Jiang's post-2000 work such a delight. Superb cinematography, actors who are in on the joke and an amusing plot make this a fun watch, though not as exuberant as Let the Bullets Fly.
