Fighting Fists Tell a Story

Like pornographic movies and kung-fu films, movies can be excuses for set pieces that do not integrate with the surrounding drama. The numerous fights in evidence here, however, come directly from the story in a natural way and actually help propel it forward so that the proverbial tail does not wag the dog.

This is a story of honor, justice & racewar - Sino-Japanese - as well as the spiritual philosophy behind Eastern martial-arts.
