This is a typical sword fighting movie whos plot......well there ain't too much of one!! It focusses more on Tony Leung and Elvis Tsui, who become brothers, yet are on opposite sides of the law.

The fighting is those extremely long leaps (almost like flying) so if you like that style of movie, you'll like the action in this.

There is also some comedy in this which is quite funny, but Tong Leung playing such a serious characters makes you feel like he goes out of character when he is in those scenes.

i agree with jfierro about Elvis Tsui, who's performance alone makes this worth watching!! I think it's his greatest performance!! He plays a crazy yet loyal monk who keeps talking and talking, even to himself!! Watch out when he asks his horse for advise!!!

Also see a young Lau Ching Wan who plays a minor role in this!!

Overall, it is a average flying sword fighting movie, with a ending which may make you feel unsatisfied. Elvis Tsui makes this movie watching!!

Only because Elvis Tsu is so good in this, i give this more marks than it deserves:

7/10
