Just finished watching this film. If you love action with sword fighting and lots of blood. This film is for you. Just leave your brain at the door its not needed. Ñ
Without spoiling anything, if there's a reason I'd recommend anyone interested in the genre to watch this movie, then that's the fact of how many unexpected events occur. The chasm between anything made in Hollywood and this style is utterly unfathomable.
While every single producer in Hollywood is concerned about what rating the movie's gonna get instead of whether it's gonna be good or not, it's clear here that the creators of this one said: "This movie is going to be like this and that, period", and went ahead with it. And man am I glad they did.
And if that wasn't enough, you also have all the other technical ingredients a good movie must have: direction, cinematography, amazing choreographers, lighting, location, etc.
No, definitely not all movies in the genre are the same. With "The Raid" saga and quite a few others, we can see that freedom in creativity gets along marvellously with this movie type.
Huge kudos to everyone involved in the making of this movie, and my deepest condolences to the family of the actor that passed during filming.

I don't know why this doesn't have more reviews and why the lead actor isn't in more movies.
This is one of the best action movies i've seen in a long time. Someone is dropping the ball by not putting Bruce Khan in more movies.
On the one end, i really enjoyed the action, but on the other end, the acting, plot, story, and characters were just dull.
But... I couldn't tell if this movie was attempting to be a comedy, or an action flick? The jokes in the movie fell flat for me... The spattering of English dialogue was really weird, the whole side story with the mother and daughter was pointless at best, and didn't add anything to the movie or the story.
A lot of the characters were just weird and irrational. So I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to take this film seriously or if it's trying to be silly.
But, with that all being said, if you want a pointless action flick with good fighting in it. I'd definitely say give it a go, the fight scenes make it worth the watch.

Awesome fight choreography! The fights scenes are great especially the final one. That is the best I've seen in films for awhile. The story itself is silly and the rest of the cast are terrible actors. The 'Mom & Daughter' parts can be skipped. I'm going to see this again just for the fights.
