Under-appreciated old school swordplay classic.

This film is perfect for fans of martial arts swordplay type movies like Death Duel and One Armed Swordsman. The plot isn't too deep as you might expect, but the film is beautiful, well choreographed in the action area, and nicely acted. I must give credit to the director, the film looks and feels nicely and I was very into it - I can't believe I never heard of this film and just happened to come across it looking for another gem by searching for Vengeance. If you are a fan of martial art's cinema and haven't seen this one - don't feel bad, apparently many people haven't, but go out right now and order it, you won't be disappointed at all. I don't usually write reviews, but when a movie is a hidden gem, I feel the need to help spread the word and bring it to a wider audience. This ones worth checking out, and looking at it from a martial arts cinema stand point I rate it a 9/10.
