Official Synopsis : Yuen Woo Ping (The Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill Volumes I and II, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero) brings you True Legend, a heart pounding epic about the timeless battle between good and evil. Su Can's (Vincent Zhao) respectable life is obliterated when his vengeful brother, Yuan (Andy On), returns from war armed with the deadly Five Venom Fists. Weakened but not destroyed, Su Can learns a never-before-seen form of martial arts: the Drunken Fist. Armed with this new power, he returns home to honor his family through retribution by taking on his brother in a battle to become the ultimate warrior. Packed with distinct fighting styles-including MMA, knife combat and sweeping aerial stunts- and starring martial arts legends Michelle Yeoh, David Carradine and Jay Chou, True Legend has Phillip French of The Observer raving, "It opens with one of the best action sequences I've ever seen." --(c) Indomina Media What to Expect : Spectacular martial arts action with a hefty dose of the surreal. Don't expect too much coherence or plot relevance, but allow yourself to get carried away by the gravity-defying bone-crunching fight scenes.
Critical Response : Well received, for a limited release that is. The New York Post puts it bluntly : "Fans don't go to martial-arts movies for the story. They want action -- and Yuen doesn't disappoint," and Chris Barsanti of Filmcritic.com simply states that the movie is "rabidly fun and cameo-packed ". 67% fresh on Rottentomatoes.com, with 18 positive reviews and 9 negative ones.
