Much Better Than I Anticipated

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2019)

(Flash Review)
Four expert swordsmen/women craft a clever plan to assassinate the ruthless and powerful king of one of the neighboring kingdoms. Will their pride and love of their land ultimately allow them achieve their goal? Will the King be able to persuade them otherwise? The serious story is told through interwoven flashbacks as the story pieces itself together. It asks is fighting the only answer and isn't there another way to ultimately unite all the kingdoms harmoniously? Many scenes are flush with interesting and bold color choices and dazzling effects. The sword fighting scenes are similar to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as they are fantastical and surreal in style. This is a visual feast for the eyes with an engaging story and a meaty core.
