Either I’m insane or simply part of a small minority but I hated this film. The main problem I had with this and many others of its kind is the simple fact that it’s “Orientalism” tailored to a foreign market. The wushu is also a simply a joke.

I found Ang Lee was much more successful in reinventing the wuxia genre in light of classics such as Touch of Zen. This on the other hand, was just wrong on so many levels.

With that said though, amazingly well shot but thats a given when you have Christopher Doyle as DP.
