Wonderful Movie
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
A BROTHERHOOD OF HEROES is a dark and scuzzy kung fu flick from Taiwan. Action fans will be disappointed by the lack of hard-hitting fight scenes here, and the ones which do occur are strictly routine, with hits that never connect and lots of jumping around with very little impact. It's a period-set piece in which a trio of wandering swordsmen-type heroes discover a sinister conspiracy at the imperial court, but the plotting is hackneyed and the twists well choreographed in advance. The one and only Barry Chan stars, alongside Jackie Chen and a cameoing Chen Sing, who really deserves better.
