Unfairly maligned, grossly under-appreciated "Wu Xia meets Gunslinger" film.
The "martial artist with a baby" angle was probably inspired by the "Samurai Assassin" series of films.
The fish out of water "Eastern martial artist in the Old West" angle was probably inspired by Bruce Lee's "Kung Fu."
Sad to see so many movie fans slam this film so harshly. It really wasn't the awful mess they made it out to be. It was quite good in many respects. The plot/theme was clear and well-defined. The cinematography was expert. The fight sequences were skillfully choreographed, as good as those in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Hero."
Movie fans who have yet to see this film may want to ignore the naysayers and give it a chance. They may be pleasantly surprised.
Or not.
