Wow! Silent and deadly. Will need to watch again but this is no doubt one of the best sword fighting movies in the year. I really liked Jang Hyuk in this movie, he really nailed the performance of the main character. I highly recommend this movie, a bit slow but fun to watch with modern effects and fighting skills👌🏾

I've been watching Korean films for years. I've seen this 3 times - enjoyed it that much. The hero is one of my favs from Chuno. Good action, plot and story line. Well done.

It made me think of a Korean Zatoichi, which is unfair for Shintaro Katsu, who made many enjoyable Zatoichi movies. This Korean character stands on his own and the fight scenes are pretty decent. I enjoyed the acting of the main character's values which we've in Korean, Japanese and Chinese values of loyalty, honor and family. There were some unusual item that I didn't think was necessary such as the guns, evil lord's female aide and unusual foot wear but it was still an enjoyable movie.
