Nicely Filmed.

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2001)

This was a beautifully photographed film. Many scenes are haunting and stay with you afterwards. I found the story rather romantically juvenile not unlike other Chinese martial arts films. The fight scenes were nicely choreographed and had a supernatural quality to them. I felt the flying was a bit much. The need to have heroes fly must be in some collective subconscious. In the west we have Superman; in the East they have martial arts masters. I enjoyed the movie despite the almost silly story. Martial art movies do have some fun bad guys. Jade Fox was a memorable villain.
