关于此电影

In a young Republic of China, where greedy warlords fuel a period of war and strife, Hou Jie (Andy Lau) arrogantly shows no mercy to his enemies seeking refuge with the benign and compassionate Shaolin monks. After unscrupulously killing a wounded enemy, Hou Jie pays a terrible price for his actions and is forced to seek refuge in the same Shaolin Monastery he blatantly disrespected. Hou Jie's traitorous second-in-command Cao Man (Nicholas Tse) continues where the once-warlord left off, betraying his country and his own people. Hou Jie must adapt to Shaolin principles to stop the monster he created.

评分和评价

It's all about good versus evil, betrayal and sacrifice, old school saying: if you don't stand for something, you will fall anything. Some crisis in life will make you make a decision. Like:'Is you Is or Is you Ain't.

This movie was good. The storyline drew me in and I ended up caring about the characters. The synopsis in the Play Store was very misleading though. Other than the fact that the betrayed general goes to the Shaolin for refuge, the story isn't like the synopsis at all.

Andy lau is a great actor but mis-cast. lots of solid films have been coming out of China and this is not one.
