Review of Blood Brothers (1973) by Elaine T — 12 Apr 2008

Refreshing to have the 30s back, especially in a dark, violent and stylish way in Shanghai. Story is simple and straight forward... not much of action... watchable...

I really have no complaints with this. Unlike a lot of Asian films, the story kept on trucking and didn't feel slow at all…

Cool sets and boring story! Qi Shu was pretty but still looks very stupid! Liu Ye was so good! Disappointed for Daniel…

Can't say it boring, but the story line is very typical and you can pretty much tell what happens next. Go a bit out of whack towards the end…

Not a bad movie overall for a new and upcoming director, ill be honest with you the only reason I saw it is because John Woo's name was attached…

This could have been a much better film as it had very high production values and, honestly, I'm a sucker for old-school Shanghai settings…
