Well I got conned. Conned into buying this movie based on all of the 'wonderful' reviews. They don't get much worse than this movie in terms of martial art fare. I can deal with bad acting. I can deal with silly plots. I can deal with disjointed story lines and fanciful and unbelievable twists and outcomes. After all this is martial arts right? And this is to be expected from most films of this genre. What I can't deal with is poor fight scenes and a disengaging, unentertaining story. And this film has plenty of the former and is all of the latter. Bored to tears, I'm writing this review while the end sequence between the hero and villain takes place. Don't believe the hype - save your time and money. There are much better martial arts films, many star rated below this trash, that are well worth a watch; Hand of Death, Shaolin Deadly Kicks and Shaolin Invincible Sticks to name a few. If you take your martial arts films seriously, and doubt this short review, give this one a watch and see if you agree. Fanboys walk on home.
