Review of Shaolin (2011) by Jthomas411 — 08 Sep 2011

Benny Chan's Shaolin is a solid film for those seeking a good martial arts drama. The film is not as action-packed as some may hope but there's enough fighting to appease the majority while Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse deftly portray the battle of forgiveness in the face of ruthless betrayal.

While the pacing falters at times and some of the characters could have used some more depth, the film is still quite enjoyable and well worth seeing if you get the opportunity during its theatrical release.
