The type of movie i wish Tsui Hark made more often, the film does live to the reputation it has gather. Unlike other films of the genre that have come out from HK this is a dark one, a dog-eats-dog world is portrayed in the film instead of the typical colorful Zhang Yimouesque wu... read more
A remake of Shaw Brothers classic , The One-armed Swordsman, this high octane slice and dice-athon is a little crude and melodramatic by today's standards, but it still has power. Tsui Hark's use of extreme camera angles and close ups is a little hit and miss, sometimes having st... read more

A captivating tale with great actions scenes. The subtext of this movie is complex and what makes this film a true masterpiece
