6What people say
It was about damn time someone recognized the French countryside for what it is, a mecca of martial arts.
Half the time Gans is out there shooting this thing like he's Mann making The Last of the Mohicans, then this dude fucking match cuts from Monica Bellucci's breasts to snowy mountains—it's bonkers. And how about the fact that this is a lavish period piece-cum-creature feature, with martial arts, and motherfucking Mark Dacascos martial arts at that—choreographed by the action coordinator on Hard Boiled(!)—with Dacascos doing kip-ups and flipping his hair back like Shawn Michaels before swashknuckling guys, all set against a pseudo-historical backdrop that'd make Cage cream? I can't believe this is real.I love this shit.
