Tai Seng, 2001

Great Film & Story

+ Watch this movie with an open mind and try to enjoy it.
+ Best Special Effects Ive Seen In A While

I dont know why some people have low comment on this film. maybe bcoz they have watch Men In Black before this film. Well i tell you what, its way to different. But i would say that the story, casting & effects we're great (but not the fighting scenes and martial arts), but still this film for me ...
  
  











  



  
Seven Swords20 reviews
Donnie Yen, Leon Lai

Weinstein Company, 2007

Pleasant

it's not exactly great, it definatly didn't look too fake as, crouching tiger hidden dragon. i first watched this movie while i was in afghanistan, so i recommended it to my cousin. we now both enjoy this movie, because of the fact that they tried to keep away from making people fly.
  
  











  



  
My Wife Is a Gangster1 review

Entertaining

This movie is 40% action, 40% drama and about 20% comedy. To be honest, you don't see these types of movie in the USA, and that is unfortunate. American movies tend to cookie cutter movies into very specific genres. A drama can have action, and it can be funny. Or a comedy can have dramatic ...

CJ Entertianment, 2007

One of the greatest fight scenes ever done

+ See it without high expectations and you will like this movie.
+ Beautiful visuals carry this Korean WUXIA fantasy epic...

The last Battle of this spiritually powerful Martial EPIC has the hero taking on a literal army of dark spirit-demons to reach the one he loves. The emotion of this film in the manner that the characters interact MAKES THE MOVIE outstanding. That awesome last battle makes you believe one man alone ...

D.O.A. - Dead or Alive44 reviews
Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki

Weinstein Company, 2007

Actually Good

Just like all the other reviewers say, the story is NOT going to win any oscars. The first 15 minutes or so had me thinking the movie would suck because the fighting/intro to the characters seemed really cheesy to me. There were also a couple other teeth-gratingly cheesy moments in this movie ...
  
  











  



  
Unleashed (Unrated Widescreen Edition)134 reviews
Jet Li, Bob Hoskins

Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2005

fantastic, emotional story with brutal action

+ Don't Make Me Take My Collar Off!!!!
+ Unrated? Unleashed!

basically its a story of hope, redemption, and rebirth. Danny(Jet Lee) has been raised as nothing more than an attack dog for his entire life(that he can remember). he has been forced to hurt. forced to kill. he never gets anything in return for the atrocities. he is forced to live in a cage. its ...

Jun Murakami, Masanobu Ando

Tokyo Shock, 2004

Shinobi - Heart Under Blade58 reviews
Yukie Nakama, Jô Odagiri

Funimation Prod, 2007

Love, Sacrifice, and The Way of the Warrior

+ Not bad

A story about two warriors (shinobi/ninja's) in love across enemy lines, forced to battle with the internal emotional conflict of love contending with duty...a tension which builds and builds until the climax. Epic stuff. The fight choreography is excellent. Dynamic camera angles which ...
  
  











  



  
Wind and Cloud: The Storm Riders98 reviews
Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yiu-Cheung Lai

Tai Seng, 2006

Taiwanese version not as good as Hong Kong one

The actor list which includes Takeshi was what prompted me to buy this, but he wasn't in the movie at all! The other thing is that although containing some special effects, it pails in comparison to the earlier movie version made in Hong Kong starring Ekin Cheng and Arron Kwok because the storyline ...
