TV Shows/Movies / Martial Arts
You won't get bored watching this. More than enough action for any martial arts fan.

Action/Adventure / Horror
I was very disappointed in this film. It wasn't scary in the least. All the special effects were cheesy and unrealistic looking, and the Martial Arts choreography was very poor. I only give it 1/2 star because of the cool keychain that came with [the special edition DVD I purchased].

Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
As another viewer commented, "the martial arts in this movies isn't anything new". Not saying thats it's poor action--in fact, if you're new to Martial Arts films or Jet Li, the action might blow your mind--but for a veteran of martial arts movie viewing of over 30 years I found Yuen Wo Ping's choreography "dated". It's the same kind of thing he was doing 15 years ago. I also found the sped-up camera action and editing a bit too obvious. Perhaps if this movie didn't receive the kind of perfect reviews it's been getting then maybe I wouldn't be so hard on it, but I expected more.

Action/Adventure / Science Fiction
Hey, I like this movie. Yes, it's a low budget "Matrix" rip off, but check out the finale fight when the two characters are doing "Gun-Fu". The combination of gun play while using martial arts at the same time was very original. I haven't seen this done quite this way before, and makes the movie well worth watching for this scene alone...
| | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | I have to agree with both you and aardvarks on this movie. Sure, it's a matrix rip-off of sorts, but the film truly stands out, artistically and stylistically, as one of the coolest action films ever made, despite the bad timing of its theatrical release. | The 8th Sword |
