Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
A BROTHERHOOD OF HEROES is a dark and scuzzy kung fu flick from Taiwan. Action fans will be disappointed by the lack of hard-hitting fight scenes here, and the ones which do occur are strictly routine, with hits that never connect and lots of jumping around with very little impact. It's a period-set piece in which a trio of wandering swordsmen-type heroes discover a sinister conspiracy at the imperial court, but the plotting is hackneyed and the twists well choreographed in advance. The one and only Barry Chan stars, alongside Jackie Chen and a cameoing Chen Sing, who really deserves better.
