Director: Ching Gong

I really can’t find much to criticise in this movie. It’s a short, tight story that is well told, well acted, exciting and at times surprising. Good times.

Strong performances, intelligently filmed action and an all round aura of quality mean that this comfortably hits a four star rating.

Though there is talent behind the lens and in front of it, this is a run-of-the-mill swordplay film with a wasted gimmick.
