Rosana B Que filme lindo, apaixonada, a fotografia belíssima (o detalhe do mosquito na carne), as lutas são aqueles bailes, com direito a amputações e sangue (amamos)... Wuxia é uma arte marcial de fantasia histórica, exercido por pessoas de classe mais baixas e lutam por justiça… Personagens cativantes, roteiro com excelente montagem e ajuda de uma narrador (detetive), um filme simples e até monótono, mas que ganhou toda minha atenção com o desenvolvimento da investigação forense... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Sean D Perfect mix of thriller , mystery and martial arts. This film really exceeded my expectations . The writing and execution is spot on. Ide definitely say it's up there with Donnie Yens best films. There's an older guy at my work who i would talk to about films. And i borrowed him a few with wuxia. And told him not to be put off by the martial arts and subtitles as its a really great movie. And I didn't think he'd actually watch it but he did. And he couldn't stop raving about it the next time I saw him. He didn't even mention the others lol Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall very well done martial arts movie, great cinematography scenes and breakdown of info with a compelling story. However, the decision to bring in the has-been veterans and lack of attention to the script just was a tad too much. Even if I didn't know Jimmy Wang, his acting was horrific. The delivery was almost to the point I wonder if he was senile or just lost his marbles. Action wise, Jimmy and Kara tmight as well have acted as the village elders. It's is a martial arts movie, stop bringing in senior citizens if you insist they physically still gotta pretend like their ability to do action is anywhere near watchable. Would have been better if they actually use some CG beam or something like that. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member What an amazing movie this was. Part martial arts, part thriller, each chapter adding another layer as the story develops. There are wonderful performances from Donnie Yen and Takeshi Kaneshiro as their own journeys to the present are explained before an amazingly vivid final section. The action, used sparingly, is outstanding and added to the sublime photography we get a film that asks a lot of questions and leaves quite an impression. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a really interesting movie. I couldn't breathe during the forest scene. I've never been so scared of Donnie Yen. That intensity was insane. So my problem with this movie is how the detective is just suddenly ok with Donnie Yen's character at the end. I still don't understand why he would help him. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie! I can't believe I didn't hear about it till now. An awesome mix of fight scenes sprinkled with old school film noir sensibilities. I really enjoyed it. Good concept, good execution.
