Not worth watching
4 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Not much of a story, paper-thin characters, contrived emotions…what else can I say about this movie. Indeed, there are some (two, exactly) long, outrageous fighting scenes that may generate mild excitement. There is not a great deal of GCI effects as the action is generated by a mixture of wire-fu and camera tricks. Under a newly adopted name of "Gianna" (just one word, as appearing on the end credit roll), original "Sassy Girl" Jeon Ji-hyun turns in a satisfactory, if not spectacular performance in her first ass-kicking action role, sort of a female version of Blade. Those who have watched Tom Cruise's "The last samurai" (2003) may remember being beguiled by bewitching Koyuki, who appeared here as Onigen, the source of everything evil and not quite as glistering as she was six years ago.
