My favorite of the genre

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2013)

I decided to review this film now, after seeing this movie for the third time. It's a lot for me because I watch to many things to have the time for multiple viewings. I enjoyed this movie a lot. I must say, at first I wasn't expecting a lot from this. It was one of the first martial arts movie i've seen along with a couple of Jackie Chan movies.
Donnie Yen was one of the reason I wasn't sure to like this movie, his face seems like he had no emotions at all so I was thinking : how can a guy like this could do good acting. Let me say that he earned my respect with this movie, I was completely wrong. He fits perfectly for this role.
This movie is not only for martial arts fans but also contains historical events between Chinese and Japanese. There's a lot of good fights accompanying a really good story.
Now that I have seen a lot of martial arts movies, this one's still my favorite followed by the second one. I hope that the third one will be great too.
