The Movie

 

From the director of the "Once Upon A Time In China Series"

Men die, horses die and dogs die in this dark and riveting masterpiece from one of the world's leading action directors.

Hong Kong's master-director Tsui Hark puts aside the flying warriors and bright silks of his groundbreaking fantasy films (The Swordsman and many others) to present The Blade, a dusty and bloody tale of revenge in which love is not strong enough to hold back the violent passions of men.

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

This movie really takes a change of direction half way through.  The first half of the movie seems muddled and very hard to follow with storylines going everywhere.  The second half slows down the plot and goes more for the action!  The sword fighting in the second half of the movie is unbelievable!
