The lack of rip-roaring martial arts or even a half-decent storyline will leave genre aficionados feeling short-changed.

RTNew York PostJun 14, 2013

The plot is of little importance - the spectacular action and gorgeous landscapes and costumes are what matter.

RTNew York TimesJun 13, 2013

The blades fly as do the heads, but the movie remains disappointingly aground.

B

RTThe Last Thing I SeeJul 8, 2020

This is an action movie with very little action, a period piece with very little history, and the story of brothers and betrayal with very little earnest emotion.
