Cast: Wei Pai, Damien Lau
John Woo wrote and directed this Shaw Brothers style swordplay flick about honor, loyalty, and betrayal (hey, what's new there?). Features some very nice sword work and kung fu, but the choreography is in that old school mechanical style, which is still amazing to watch, but not chaotic and frenzied enough to be jaw-dropping.
