My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Crash Cinema)
A woman leads a group of Chinese rebels against the Tartars. She struggles over a decision to accept help from a local group of artisans lead by Hsin, who are smart but lack weapons or fighting experience. There is also a potential traitor amongst her followers. Occasionally bogs down in unnecessary romantic entanglements, but for the most part a solid story with some good swordplay. The film has many dark scenes, and Crash Cinema apparently made the decision to enhance them with a greenish night vision correction. Unfortunately, this "enhancement" comes and goes, even in the middle of the same scene, leading to a distracting strobe effect that ruins the mood.
