The movie is filmed with a very good hand in camera, direction, saturated in color and b/w scenes, all is almost perfect.
Not too much fantasy, apart some very few jumps or hops that land feather like but none of the impossible kung-fu moves we are accustomed in last 20 or more years of martial arts movies.
Dialogues are very little, another custom of those kind of movies.
Nonetheless, trying to pay the maximum attention to movie and words (captions), I ended up without barely understanding who's who and what's going on. Names and characters are not made clear and obvious visually and namely.
So, even if the movie itself is very enjoyable and recommendable for the visual part, it becomes unintelligible (and so a bit boring) for the plot part. A pity.
