Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and martial arts fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to Fist of Fury or Fist of Legend. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
During the Manchu (Qing) Dynasty, a mainland Chinese patriot becomes a one-man resistance force to defend a timber works against the invading Japanese army.
