James Marsh Screen International 07/22/2015
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. Go to Full Review

Aly G @Aly13G Sep 23 This movie is all over the place. The protagonist experienced so many losses of his master that it became like an absolute mess in determining who his real master is. I’d like to focus on the monk protagonist, but it feels like even this movie doesn’t know if it’s the monk who is the protagonist or if it's the last master he had. Moreover, it looked like this movie prioritized getting popular actors to play in this film that it underbudgeted the setting.
