The Legend of the Shadowless Sword - 無影劍



There haven't been as many Korean swordplay films. That's why I was excited to see a few made and released in the 2004-2007 period. Among those made during this time frame was "The Legend of the Shadowless Sword" (無影劍).

The movie is based on a locate and rescue storyline. The protagonist must locate and bring to safety, a person of interest. Along the way, their are many many battles. You know how it goes, the person that needs the rescue always puts up a fight and doesn't do what is good and rebels. This is no different. Chaos ensues after said person is located.

The fighting is slick and polished. However, I didn't get that excited over the fighting or the characters. I was generally bored and hoping for the film to end.
