I can't figure out why there is a different director name over here. Anyways, this is a movie about some kung fu guy on a quest to rescue some blind girl from a bunch of evil men. The end.
As a kung fu movie in itself, it is actually pretty good but as a John Woo movie...... well compared to his later stuff like The Killer or Hard Boiled it's rather mediocre. But he was starting out and I think for an earlier piece, it's actually descent. The martial arts action is nice and even a little creative. Characterization could of been a little more unique but over all cool. The story is one dimensional and the acting was okay. So it's not bad at all.
In Conclusion: I recommend this to 70's kung fu lovers and John Woo completists at best.
