‘The Sword Stained With Royal Blood’ is a thoroughly entertaining, if a little convoluted, genre film that is full of the colour and pageantry fans demand of wuxia.

It was a big box office hit on its release, features Chingmy Yau looking adorable and has some decent chemistry between the cast, but that’s not enough to drag the viewer through the ninety-minute running time.

‘Broker’ is deceptively gentle in the same way as the tide is – constant, soothing and yet with a power to erode even the hardest granite with its motion.
