About this movie

Ying (Donnie Yen, Ip Man, 14 Blades, Hero), a highly skilled martial arts warrior of the Ming Dynasty palace guard, is ordered to escort the precious Golden Wheel of Time, said to have the power of time travel and ability to see into the future, from Sindu back to China. Along his perilous journey he is wrongly accused of a murder and hunted by his three brothers, Yuanlong (Simon Yam, Lara Croft Tomb Raider) Sao, and Niehu, all bent on revenge. At the height of battle all four are buried by a huge avalanche, freezing them in time. 400 years later, they are unearthed, defrosted and forced to adjust to modern-day life. Using the Golden Wheel that unlocks the past, Ying must regain his honour and correct history, defeating his brothers once and for all in an almighty fight to the death.

Ratings and reviews

Dire acting, an all-over-the-place story and horrible toilet humour are just some of the problems I *might* have forgiven if the action scenes could deliver, but even these are totally unimaginative. I expect much better from Donnie Yen.

It is nice to view a modern action packed Chinese movie. Sometimes the fight scenes can be a bit too much , but they are definitely well constructed. Modern action Chinese comedy or heist can be interesting.
