Résumés(1)
Au temps de la Chine ancienne, les clans Wei et Liang se livrent une guerre incessante. Réscapé d'une terrible bataille, un fantassin tir-au-flanc capture un valeureux général de l'armée rivale dans l'espoir de le livrer à ses supérieurs et décrocher une récompense. Mais pour y arriver, il va devoir affronter de redoutables guerriers... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

A film that lacks creative discipline and, above all, order that would reconcile "Chinese" theatricality and lyrical openness with a modern (and very uneven) form. Chan really tries, but his pacifist idiot with the soul of a country poet ends up dying under the hooves of the schematic ideology of a "united and great China," which is already an indispensable prayer for all the historical large-scale productions under which the state apparatus is signed as a benefactor. They say you won't differentiate a phoenix from a sparrow in a Wok pan. On screen, luckily, you can.

A rather successful historical film about what can happen when only two enemies survive a major battle. It's still a pretty good film about friendship, although I was expecting slightly better action scenes. But it must be admitted that Jackie Chan is acting more than dancing this time, which is also a good thing. He can act when he wants to.
