 I was rather surprised I didn't like this movie. It was a kung fu version of "Kramer Vs. Kramer". I think the biggest weakness in this film was the story and how they characterized Chin Ping's character as the most gullible heroine in kung fu history. The entire middle of the movie is people convincing her to do stupid things because she is angry at her dad, her dad forgiving her, and then her getting angry again. That was very aggravating, especially when I am much more used to Cheng Pei-Pei or Li Lili who were much stronger female leads out for revenge. Not the best sword-swinging revenge movie out there. |
