A graying black-clad swordsman slays palace guards, as he flies through the air to an uncertain purpose. Centuries (or is it days?) later, gun-toting, Armani-clad super policemen — Hong Kong’s Saviours — are devastated by a cloaked assassin. Kinetic medieval fantasy; overstructured, outgunned urban nightmare. And that’s only the first ten minutes! A highly entertaining, eye-popping genre-bender in every way.
