Review of Seven Swords (2005) by Jonathan H — 01 Aug 2010

Theres enough amazingly choreographed action here to make this Tsui effort watchable, but its disjointed, and has far too many subplots that are badly explained for it to be a real classic. Still, it feels like an anime, a bit like 'Ninja Scroll' in live-action, with the stylised bad-guys, excellent colouring, and as always sumptuous cinematography you come to expect from certain Eastern movie-makers.

As a whole, I found it confusing and hard to follow, but well worth a watch, just dont expect too much.
