Swordsmen aka Wu xia (2011) - GOOD MOVIE
This is a very interesting and different martial arts movie. Not
revolutionary, per se, but it's innovative, exciting, and an original. The first half
of the movie is basically CSI, China, Ching Dynasty. I thought it's
pretty funny, but it lacks a certain epic and mystical quality that good
martial arts movies have. Then the second half of the movie complements
the first half beautifully; it becomes more like a traditional martial
arts movie. The movie is beautifully filmed, with
unusual composition and gorgeous color.
Overall, a perfect detective film. Not
recommended for those under 14. Highly recommended to those who like
this genre. Fantastic movie.
