Action: Before I watched the whole movie, I saw a short clip of a spectacular fight scene from this movie and I thought if the whole movie had scenes like that, this movie could be pretty cool. Unfortunately, that cool scene that I saw doesn't happen until the end of the movie and it was rather short. The rest of the fights were even shorter. Some good moments of action here and there, but generally nothing as good as the fight at the end, which didn't last long
General complaints: I usually like martial arts movies, but found this one to be not very enjoyable, even an uncomfortable experience to watch - partly because watching people treating each other badly, which is almost all that happens in this movie, is no fun, but also because the main character is not likable and his behavior makes no sense. For instance, right from the start, he's Korean, but goes to Japan during the WWII era to become a fighter pilot, which doesn't work out for him, because of course they don't let him become a fighter pilot. But why in the world did he think this was a good idea in the first place? Join the country that's devastating his own? Willingly go to a place where they don't like him? I'm already confused. Then for the rest of the movie, he's a jerk to his friends, yet overly respectful to his enemies. I didn't understand the guy at all.
