Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The barnacle-encrusted plot, which pits little Prince Zhao (Bill Su Jiahang), the rightful heir to the emperor's throne, against his murderous older brother, Shing (Andy On), is dumbed down to the studs.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Stunt man Nicholas Powell helms, his directing debut, showing little regard for characters or story.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
Given the state of Nicolas Cage's resume, it's faint praise to say this samurai tale is slightly better than most of his recent movies.
