“Your blood is mine. His blood is mine too.”
Starring Donnie Yen and Takeshi Kaneshiro as leads, Peter Chan's wonderful tribute to the Shaw Brothers' classic “The One-Armed Swordsman” is a combination of great martial arts action and an engrossing detective story. Moreover the amazing and talented supporting cast is just as impressive. The use of stimulating techniques during the film's crime scene investigation is also refreshing and stands out from most films of this nature. Besides having Kara Hui as one of his skilled enforcers, the casting of Shaw Brothers legend Jimmy Wang Yu as the villain is without doubt a brilliant choice. Topping it off, the film's gorgeous location certainly makes “Wuxia” a memorable experience.
