I'm giving this film 10/10 & it earns every single mark of it. It was sheer brilliance from start to finish. I genuinely expected a film with overdone wire work but this was a good film that was made even more watchable by the fact of it being based on a true story. Jet Li plays a man who founded the main wushu martial arts movement. The fight scenes are well done and don't go over the top at all, which I did expect them to. Nathan Jones performs well as a token Westerner and it was nice to see he is still doing well after leaving the WWE.
The story is compelling and the plot flows well and even if you are not a fan of martial arts movies or struggle with subtitled films you will still enjoy this film for it's story. The sets and backgrounds are magnificent and the film looks wonderful all the way through, there just isn't a bad set or bad looking scene in the entire film. Jet Li plays his part extremely well and all the other actors support him to a very high standard.
I highly recommend this film to fans and non fans of martial arts.
