Liang Jia Ren stars in this story of honor and betrayal with the government police force. Ren is cast as a captain on the force who is under the control of his father( Ku Feng). They work under the childish Emperor who is hardly responsible to do his duty. When a blood thirsty eunuch usurps the Emperor's power, Ren decides that it is time to call it quits. Furious, the Emperor orders Ku Feng to kill his own son, but somehow, Ren manages to live every time. Realizing that his troops are not Ren's match, the Eunuch decides to kill him hiself. This results in a fight scene that is one for the ages. A great film overall, with enough swordplay to keep you going for hours.
