The buildup is so compelling in this "Chinese Western" by He Ping (Swordsman in Double Flag Town) that its thunderous anticlimax of an ending can almost be forgiven. Almost.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Impressively filmed but not dramatic enough to justify its length.

A handsome although dramatically muddled Noodle Western.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
A magnificent looking and occasionally very silly Chinese Western.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
May be a period piece but there's nothing antiquated about it except an overly populated, initially hard-to-follow plot.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Thoroughly old-fashioned entertainment.

Comfortably familiar. It lacks the tension between grandeur and intimacy that characterizes the films it apes.

Falters when it gets involved with supernatural gobbledygook.
