"Working with cult Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark no doubt represents a step in the right direction...Van Damme surrounds himself with a flamboyant buddy, NBA star Dennis Rodman, and a sleazy villain, played with relish by Mickey Rourke...Visually exciting set pieces in...this action-packed, often campy and colorful amusement park of a movie...combining elements of international anti-terrorist espionage, high-tech penal colony conflict and an action hero whose chief motivation is to reunite with his wife and newborn son" (Emanuel Levy, Variety).

SEVEN SWORDS

Tsui Hark directs this towering adaptation of Liang Yusheng's novel "Seven Swordsmen from Mount Tian," about seven warriors who band together to protect a small Chinese village from a ruthless bounty hunter during the Qing dynasty. If you smell Seven Samurai, you're on the right track. Even at roughly three hours in length, the powerful (and bloody) martial arts sequences keep Seven Swords fresh. Hark's prestige picture deviates from the visual pizzazz of recent examples like Crouching Tiger in favor of grittier mise-en-scene and desaturated colors. With Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Charlie Yeung, and a score by Kenji Kawai. In Mandarin with optional English subtitles Tsui Hark---Hong Kong/China/South Korea---2005---154 mins.
