Seven Swords (2005). This is a wonderful flick whose only flaw is the Western viewer. By that i mean that it was hard for me to keep up with events and subtitles, but that is no reason to poo poo this great flick. The story itself is decent enough, but there is more here than just a story. The characters are all wonderfully flawed, and villain and hero alike were portrayed with marked aplomb. A little long to be sure, it probably could have even been more so. The fighting was stylish, brutal, and awesome. Spiced up with honor, sacrifice, and treachery, this incredible flick should probably bee seen twice to catch all the stuff the occidental eye missed in the first go around. Mercie beaucoup.
