This action packed movie took a really long time to watch
what with life and my move to NE getting in the way. Then we had to wait to
actually install our cable and internet, so I couldn’t watch the movie until
that was done. After all that I really enjoyed the movie. Of course it reminds
me of the beautiful similarities of that genre with such colorful costumes and
locations, a poetry of motion to the fighting, and a sense of pride and honor
that is never quite conveyed in an American (or Western) film. In the same vein
of House of Flying Daggers, Hero, and
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon this film really showed a myriad of fighting
styles and sacrifice for the greater good. I enjoyed it and recommend it
highly.
