    Unlike the other reviews I see for this movie I actually enjoyed it all. The action scenes were well choreographed and although the camera angles changed rapidly they did some amazing swordplay. As for the plot I thought it was good, granted it is a well used plot I thought it was an interesting take on the assassin out for vengence plot.

    This movie kept taking me back to Kurosawas classic 7 Samurai. The characters were a little used but the movie kept me intrigued by the action surprises. You don't see any wires in these stunts so, as good as the action is, that makes it a very viewable movie. NOT FOR KIDS!

    i can tolerate even some thrashy movies, as long as there's something interesting, such as funny stuffs, nice storyline, meaningful ending. But this one crosses the borderline of my tolerance .. lousy story line, lousy characters, no meaningful things whatsoever, the ending is so stupid you, i feel like i totally wasted 95 minutes ...
