Peter Chan and Donnie Yen Re-invigorate The Wuxia Genre With This Latest Film!

We all know that Donnie Yen seemed to have been isolated under one specific genre; and that is hard-hitting martial arts action.

If you're into Chinese martial arts, this is probably the film for you. It's long and draggy for women and although there are some philosophies to learn out of it, it's more of an analysis of martial arts and ancient forensic science. The fights were on for almost an entire 2 hour period... all I was thinking was I wonder why Kaneshiro signed up for this film! Granted, I was there mainly because of him so I do like to know the motivation behind his role ;-)
