Review of Mystic Blade

Mystic Blade (2014)
7/10
Simple, sinister, but really entertaining Martial Arts Action
20 December 2015
Briefly about the plot: After several crucial missions, a Lone assassination warrior named Sam, abandons his ways of assassination from his former killer commando group, choosing a simple, ordinary, but exotic life in Thailand, another life style incorporating Buddhism in peace, getting married with a Thai woman and raising a child together in the Northern jungles of Thailand. But soon, it took an abrupt end, as Sam's former assassin partner tracked him and murdered his wife in front of his wife. With nothing left but his innocent son, Sam is taking up the ultimate path for revenge redemption, taking his kid alongside him in the most brutal sceneries in his quest for vengeance.

For an ordinary person, this movie would obviously seem to be crap. However, in the heart of Martial Arts practitioner or fan, who sees certain aspects from a different view, despite the simplistic cliché plot, I think that this movie is worth seeing, as one of Canada's rising stuntman, supporting actors in several International and Asian Martial Arts Action movies and leading personalities of Thailand's Asia Pacific Taekwondo Organization, displays a full array of exciting Martial Arts actions in his starring role.

Some short remarks, some story-telling animation flicks have obviously replaced some cost-consuming acting sceneries. Not that it is something bad. It was just a fact, from a production standpoint for a new and first time director.

It can only get better for his next project....

A big shout out to Master Don, (a former TKD teacher of mine, when I attended TKD classes in International School)
