Title: Superb! Martial Arts with a Soul!
Review: Wow! I went in expecting just an action-oriented martial arts movie with great cinematography and I got so much more. To be sure, the fight choreography and camera work are superb - the visuals of lone martial arts warriors facing off against veritable armies of soldiers and archers are breath-taking. The mixing of violence against a back-drop of lush natural environments is likewise stunning. However, what surprised me was the depth of the plot, and the message/moral at the end of the movie, which is NOT typical of most martial arts movies. Right up there with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - and in some ways superior. Go see it!
