Review 4K Movie

A bounty hunter takes a job escorting a wanted revolutionary to a meeting that could change the country. Along the way, he makes some unlikely allies and confronts his past.

This is an epic set in imperial China. The story is confusing due to the narration, subtitles, and jumping right in, but by the end, it all makes sense. The action is classic kung fu and is spread throughout the movie, breaking up the story. The two-hour, six-minute runtime is long for quickly reading subtitles, but there is enough context in the acting to follow along. An entertaining kung-fu period piece worth watching.
