Jade Warrior (PG-13) 6.0

Jade Warrior (2006) Jadesoturi (original title): Thousands of years ago in ancient China, a love struck sword hero fights against his destiny. He wants another chance to be reunited with his loved one and he gets that chance, in a far away place and a far away time, in the cold north, in modern Finland. (6.1)

Director: Antti-Jussi Annila
Writers: Petri Jokiranta (screenplay), Iiro Küttner (story)
Stars: Tommi Eronen, Markku Peltola and Jingchu Zhang
Language: Finnish | Mandarin (w/ English subtitles)

Interesting story, but there's no substance in it. It is advertised as a martial arts epic, but I'm not sure about that either. Epic, really? Nah! And, some of them just can't act. Why this is rated so high in Netflix, I'll never know. At least Jingchu Zhang is easy on the eyes. :-) But, at the end, the girl is with who? Yeah, like that, the storytelling in this movie isn't the greatest. My Rating: 6.0
