Outside some damn cool displays of kung fu there is unfortunately not much to find here.There is something innately cool as fuck with kung fu done right. The choreography basically writes itself in many ways. The film absolutely excels in this respect. It knows how to do kung fu, plain and simple. Perhaps this is all testosterone-fueled but in the end it is what it is.I'm just going to be honest here and say that the story and all things associated are pretty bad. It is in fact pretty jarring when the film tries its hand at human drama. There are displays of pure melodrama that are simply brutal in nature. These scenes not only destroy the film, but they take away from the kung fu. This is the kind of film in which it isn't good enough to take seriously as a biopic war drama and isn't fun enough to be a high-octane kung fu flick. In reality it appears different filmmakers were needed to attempt this kind of endeavor. From my point of view they were in over their head from the beginning.Simply put...........there is better kung fu to be had.
