This film mixed martial art and a love story. It defies logic. First, the lead female character was in love with two men. One of them was a successor to become the emperor, and another is a captain of the emperor's guard/imperial police. If the emperor wants both his love interest and the captain to be dead, it defies logic that he would restore the captain to his job later. Second, the bridge scene is humoring the audience. All the escapees from the emperor could have chopped the rope bridge off after crossing. Instead, they decided to defend the bridge whilst outnumbered, and chopped the bridge later. This film storyline is fundamentally flawed and insults the audience's intelligence.

Tiger Milk
(2017)
Exaggerated teenager life
14 May 2020
This film is hyperbolic description of the German teenagers growing up. Female German adolescents have more self respect and self worth portrayed by the main characters in the act of sexual exploration. This German film likes to over (mis)represent the migrant/refugee community in Germany with extreme examples.
The Assassin
(2015)
A grossly overestimated Chinese film
25 April 2020
Excellent cinematic can not compensate for the painfully slow story telling. The female assassin wrestled with her morality and duty. To kill or not to kill, that is the question. I felt, it lacked in substance. I would describe it as a pseudo art film for western film lovers/critics. It is not everyone's cup of tea.
