Review of The Lost Bladesman (2011) by Gary L — 14 May 2011
Another historical epic featuring the character Guan Yu, this time played by the ubiquitous Donnie Yen. More a character piece than an action adventure, The Lost Bladesman focuses on the warriorâ(TM)s relation with Qian Lan and how the PM uses her to gain Guan Yuâ(TM)s loyalty.
From director Alan Mak (Infernal Affairs) this is a little underwhelming â" watchable, certainly, but lacks any real spark or emotional involvement that elevates it above the pack.
