This is sadly the cut down version of a 40 episode wuxia series called "Huan Hua Xi Jian Lu" aka Rinsing Flowers and Purifying Swords. It has a great story and good fights. Really worth your time if you like Wuxia.

But please don't Watch this cut down mess of a movie go watch the series instead.

I found this movie to be very entertaining,it catches a grip on you from the start,i didn't know what it was about i only knew Wenzhuo Zhao was in it,i have followed his films since 1993 when i saw Fong sai yuk for the first time,i think he is a great martial artist/actor. First off this is not a kung fu movie so don't expect great fights like true legend or the blade,but it is a good thriller,you can clearly see that Zhao have evolved to a charismatic and talented actor not only is he good at martial arts but he can actually act,sadly many westerners have probably not seen the great TV-series his been in because they are mostly without English subtitles,however it was a surprise to see him in a role like this. A solid thriller with good acting imo,it surely kept me interested in its 1h.38 min runtime.
