Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This film is a brief out take from the Chinese classic Outlaws of the Marsh, reprotedly carried by Chairman Mao throughout his heroic stuggles against fascism. The original story was written in the 14th Century and has been an onging source of inspiration to Chinese literary creativity ever since. The Original story has so many sub plots and charaters that I think it might classify as the first soap opera, and even in this highly slimmed-down version, is top heavy with individual characters that are either insufficiently developed or not developed at all. But If you are familiar with the original story, this won't be a problem. If you aren't, it will be confusing, but, I think, if you like the martial arts-swordsman-knightly honor genre, or just plain action, I think that won't be a barrier. The sound track is funny, reminding me of Sergio Leone and his Clint Eastwood movies. It is a very enjoyable movie to those not cloned from the Hollywood short-attention span generation. If you are a boingo, this movie will seem very confusing.
