I loved it. It was brutal and at times hilarious. I actually don't get the hate. Sure it's style over substance but a) that's the point and b) when the style is this good, who cares?
Oh, and Lieutenant Chang was probably the most bad-assed cop in the history of bad-assed cops. He makes Dirty Harry look like a mere Slightly Soiled Sally.
I agree -- if the style is great, I'm on board. I think most of the hate comes from people who wanted Drive redux.
I loved the way the cop would draw his sword from behind his back seemingly out of the ether. I think he was the real protagonist of the movie.
