    Jet Li stars in a new movie about a warrior who defies his empire and goes after the assassins that killed his people in a new movie by the producers of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It releases August 27th.


    The trailer is here.




    Yeah, so Quentin has good taste!

    It isn't directed by Quenten. He's just presenting it. It was originally in Japan.

    I saw this movie at a friend's house, since he owns the original version on DVD. It's okay, but not as great as I hoped. Just don't walk into the theater thinking it's a Jet Li movie though and you'll be fine, I guess.

    Oh yeah, Quentin didn't direct this movie. Yimou Zhang did. Quentin is just "presenting" it.

    Will: Not to be picky, but it's Chinese. :lol:

    Yeah my friend in Cali got the bootleg from China town for like 10 dollars and you might as well just get one of Shaolin Soccer too. I rather not see it because I don't see anything that original or special about it. Just more dodging impossible things and slowing down time.

    Since I haven't been watching TV lately, I just saw the trailer a few days ago. It looks pretty sweet, but I'll wait for a review.

    I saw the movie last night on opening night. It was great. A little confusing at parts because of the fast-leaving subtitles and numerous flashbacks, but nonethelless very exciting to watch. An entertaining movie.
