James Marsh Screen International Packed with action and steeped in tradition, Chen Kaige's return to the wuxia genre is an exhilarating drama, as concerned with the philosophy behind martial arts as with their lethal execution. Jul 22, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Rosana B Chatinho, entretanto, legalzinho e às vezes até engraçadinho, a primeira metade foi mais agradável, o drama mais envolvente, a segunda metade perdeu o teor dramático, tornou-se menos cativante, focou nas cenas de ação, a fotografia e figurino impecáveis, me agrada à alegoria também, da China antiga, regular, quase legal... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review Audience Member Boring! The story is in bits and pieces and just throwing in quotes to make it like a zen movie! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member As martial arts movies go, this one is great, with plenty of excellent action sequences (unspoiled by lame Kung Fu skills) and an interesting and complex storyline, by turns dramatic, bizarre, and hilarious (the sequence where the hero eats some hallucinogenic food is truly ROFL funny). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member (2017/03/04/Netflix) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts off a bit awkward but has improved as long as it moves. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome film. Truly a chinese movie masterpiece. Highly recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
