    After being severely dissapointed by 'The Founding of a Republic' and it's poor marketing I was so happy with this, my next rental.

    Excellent fight scenes, a great plot and some brilliant actors. It was a nice suprise to see Jackie Chan pop up half way through too.

    Well worth a watch for any kung fu film fans.

  • the dao within

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By ChenQiQuan (2 reviews) , 11 May 2013
    A more profound martial arts movie where acting for once takes centre stage in the most touching way. stunts are amazing and the philosophy (more than a moral lesson) behind it can lead us to a better understanding of the dao and the true martial arts, although the fighting scenes are only spectacular stunts. Jackie Chan is acting really well and display once more his acrobatic genius along Nicholas Tse and Andy Lau.

    Great film. Nicholas Tse was excellent, Andy Lau was great too. A couple of silly bits, kinda predictable story line, but watching the main protagonists develop (and regress) was a captivating journey.

    An inspiring film that combines both the discipline of martial arts with moral ethics. This film concludes with many things to think about, particularly in relation to contemporary society.

  • It is NOT only a kung-fu movie

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This movie should not be watched because there is kung-fu, instead, I recommend it to ones keen on understanding monks, their mercifulness, wisdom.
