Review

uneven action film with higher aspirations. on a symbolic level the film might be most interesting. the symbol of turn of the century china and its relations with the west might be analgous to the middle east and the west in contemporary times. the themes of unity and latent power are powerful ones, but aren’t fully fleshed out here. yuen woo-ping’s fight choreography isn’t as inspired as it has been in the past.
