Review of The Water Margin (1972) by Steve W — 29 Mar 2015
Ambitious ensemble piece finds many bandit heroes seeking revenge when a corrupt government kills their beloved leader. The movie has an epic scope, but it gets muddled in the middle, with the same character being re-captured repeatedly.
The film's highlight is a 5 on 5 battle at the end, which overshadows the final duel. The Water Margin shafts character development, but the movie is decent enough for martial arts fans.
