Review of Saving General Yang (2013) by Will Kwok Kwong W — 08 Oct 2015

Completely derivative, but not without style and panache. Essentially a bigger take on Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, it tells the tale of the Yang clan when their father is trapped by the son of an old enemy.

The action is plentiful and well done, but there is zero character development or much of anything else. Its a straight forward action tale, full of blood, blades, and badassery. As a piece of entertainment it does well, but those looking for a decent story or rich themes should look elsewhere.
