When the heir of the Imperial throne becomes the target of an assassination by his despised older brother, the young prince must flee the kingdom and seek protection. His only hope for survival is a reluctant war-weary crusader named Jacob, who must overcome his own personal demons and rally the assistance of a mythical outlaw known as The White Ghost. Together they must fight side by side in an epic battle to return the prince to his rightful place on the throne. Written by Fab Undici

This is my first IMDb review. I think that this movie deserves more credit than previous reviewers. This is a great movie. Sure, some of the dialog is a little forced in the beginning but once the characters started to develop I found that it flowed well and it had me interested all the way through. The setup of the back-story in the beginning was quick but I was satisfied by the end that I knew the purpose of the characters.
For me this movie has two main themes. A former crusader warrior who ends up on a journey protecting the son and daughter of a deposed Chinese Emperor and the spiritual journey of 2 broken men. I was drawn to this film because of the crusader element and the beginning of the story is somewhat similar to the Season of the Witch. Crusader warriors finding their way in life after their crusade is over. Broken men who have seen things and done things that would haunt anyone for life. Killing in the name of God does not mean that the bloody memories are easily forgotten.
Hayden Christensen's character Jacob is the lead character in this film. His character unintentionally discovers the true meaning of life when asked to help the emperor's son and daughter. This movie shows that charity is at the heart of a fulfilled life. The good fight is always the fight for justice.
In terms of action, the sword fight scenes especially in the 2nd half of the film are brilliant. Hayden Christensen is amazing in these scenes.
Nicolas Cage will get people watching this one but for me Hayden Christensen stole the show.
This movie has everything, action, adventure, betrayal, love, humour and spirituality. Can't wait for the DVD release to add it to my collection.
