Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman (Dao Jian Xiao) Movie Reviews

Release Date: Mar 18, 2011

Genre: Action/Adventure Comedy

Rating: (PG-13)

2

This is martial-arts/action film directed by Chinese director Wuershan. The movie consists of three tales that eventually become one that is about a legendary sword. I thought that the film was way too busy visually and in the end i could not distinguish what geographical location the film was supposed to be in. The performances were way over the top and the actors seemed to be lost in the overall chaos of the film. The movie was absolutely non-stop and I had a huge headache in the end of it. The action scenes were also not good and felt forced and choppy. Overall, the film is a failure and i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.
