Every 5 minutes or so, you will get a subtitle pop up (and I'm not talking about the subtitles you have going if you're not fluent in Chinese btw.). And it will either be about some historical occurrence or another character that is being introduced. You have to ask yourself if this fact might annoy you a bit (or a lot). One thing is for sure, the story itself is intriguing.
The action scenes are also shot very nicely, the acting is pretty solid and you get a bit of what went down back then in China (more or less that is). It's strange though, because while the situation itself is gripping, the movie itself never really builds that much tension, that it completely grabs you. Didn't work for me at least. Shame because there is quite a lot of potential here ...
