Feng qi yun yong dou kuang lung

This Taiwanese martial arts film is centred on five martial arts experts who work for an escort union. It is there job to deliver valuable merchandise. Unfortunately a number of recent jobs have not gone to plan and the items they were transporting were stolen... the only explanation is that there is a traitor in the organisation. Once again they are intercepted by thieves but after a confrontation one of them agrees to help identify the traitor. Later they are joined by a woman who is convinced that one of them killed her father; she is determined to have her revenge.

I wasn't expecting too much from this film but it wasn't too bad. The central plot is solid enough and serves to deliver plenty of excuses for enjoyable martial arts action. It is clearly a fairly low budget film; the locations aren't very varied and given the fluctuating light levels at times no film was 'wasted' reshooting anything that didn't look good. The cast did a solid job as far as the action was concerned; as the version of the film I watched had been dubbed into English. Strangely the original music had also been replaced in places... this was blatantly obvious as parts of the soundtrack from 'Star Wars' were used! Overall I'd hardly call this a must see film but it is fun enough and as the action isn't that brutal it can be enjoyed by younger viewers too.
