Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The story is fairly generic, but plot has as little to do with the pleasures of kung fu movies as story lines do in musicals.
Fresh: Yuen tosses off nimble, elegantly witty solutions to life's most vexing problems regarding rooms full of bad guys who won't take thwak for an answer.
Fresh: A cinematic marvel to behold.
Fresh: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was like fusion food, Chinese for Western tastes. Now, get ready for the real thing.
Customer Reviews
One of the BEST!
This is a classic of the genre. Good character development, engaging story, tons of humor, amazing Kung Fu choreography, and a happy ending (optional). Quentin Tarantino gave this one a thumbs up for a good reason. If anything, take the advice of a brilliant director.
Modern Old School Kung Fu Film
Donnie Yen plays the conflicted man between a corrupt official and the robin hood character who plagues him, played by Rongguang. Has the classic martial arts film themes and look; the good & bad guys really look the part and the plot only serves the Kung Fu, which is very good.
Only the best
Only the barest semblance of a plot to enable wonderful wu shu. Also Donnie Yen
