When I first heard of this film I thought it would be action packed to the brim with well choreographed fight scenes. What I saw was in all senses a let down. the compelling plot was ruined by the daft jumps the characters executed were absolutely fake, it's hugely evident that the actors are being flung around on bungees. What I did like though was the use of practical effects over special effects, but I don't think it was enough to save this film in my honest opinion.

Visually stunning, amazingly choreographed martial arts film set in ancient China about a warlord in fear of his life as rulers plot against him.
