Its a great joy to see Jackie Chan return to Chinese cinema.
This film in particular is remarkably beautiful.
This is a mature Chan who's character is a humble
soldier who chooses living over fighting for honour.
He is even underplayed in the fight scenes and battles losing
out to superior fighters and i found this very acceptable.
The cinematography is what champions this film.
Set in rural China, the journey of Chan and his captive
to return to the Land of Liang brings us to through
some of the most stunning backdrops that China has to offer.
If Chans matured role in this film is an indication of whats to come
then his best films are yet to be made and im truly excited.
