Adam Cheng as usual is stereotyped as a debonair and charming swordsman (This is the Chinese periodic version of James Bond minus modern gadgets). Good chemistry between him and Brigitte. All those fans of Adam's style of singing will not be disappointed as the theme song is sung a few times. Brigitte dances a couple of times and welds the sword pretty convincingly even though the tough actions was handled by her stunt-double.
If you are a fan of Kungfu shows from the seventies and eighties which has little or no wire-fu, you would like it. Note that this is not the movie that Jet Li acted in even though it shares the same title.
