Ratings and reviews

An interesting story for the struggle of focus. To be the best one must always be the best. Distractions create dissonance and a break in form. Judge Archer is the story of precision and the challenge to keep it.

A perfect blend of martial arts and Confucian political teachings. One of the few films that inspires you to revisit certain scenes and character development. A hidden gem for those in love with precision martial arts mastery and philosophy.
