This is a historical movie about an outstanding attempt of one man, an assailant, to challenge an Empire in an effort to unite the country. Brilliantly worked out action sequences and yet it stands out to say that its not all about martial arts and swords.. its more than that. It shows honor, love, valor, dedication, knowledge, strength and many other qualities that you normally dont see much in martial arts movies besides in movies like Fearless. With a strong cast and emotions laid out well, this movie is quite beautiful. Definite must watch.

Wu Xia is a martial arts thriller movie about a man who worked at a paper mill (Donnie Yen) happen to have brought down 2 convicted murderers who were trying to rob a shop. The autopsy didnt show any signs of physical attack on the body of both who were murdered, which puzzles the investigator (Takeshi Kaneshiro) to look into deeper into the case which unravels the mystery about the silent innocent man. The movie is about how Donnie Yen stands up for his family and kids than his own father or his evil clan. Great movie with good acting and action sequels.
