Set in China in the mid 19th century when warlords were competing for control of their local regions. When one warlord kills a powerful rival on the site of a Shaolin temple, he has solidified his grip on power. Until, of course, his grip slips. Another rival betrays him, kills his family and our warlord is forced to retreat to that same temple for safety. He has a conversion and ultimately becomes the protector that the temple has been looking for. Nothing really new here, but a well done period drama with quality martial arts and consistently engaging story. Reminded me of the IP Man series.
3 stars (out of 5)
