Review of 14 Blades (2010) by Mandy C — 25 Jun 2010
One of the few great chinese martial art movie in the recent years. Daniel Lee manages to nail the moview perfectly and of course the casting for characters were perfect fit.
Initially I have doubts over Wu Chun's appereances, but I seriously find his character as asian version of "Jack Sparrow" look interesting. The action sequences was clean and neat... and with the added special weapon ingrediant, everything holds on well together.
The only confusing bit is where I find it hard to believe that this movie is set in the Ming Dynasty when we have a huge mixure of Ali Baba and The Bride with White Hair.
In summary, beautiful cinematography, nice setting and colours and stunning choreography.
