A modified version of Jin Yong’s novel ‘Book and Sword’ ! Owing to the poor direction, this solid plot had turned to become a dialogue-more and action-less swordplay saga. The only compliment is the refreshing cast …

I don't like the actresses who played in this movie. It's a mediocre. Chang Yi, who should be swinging his swords more often, appeared to be lame and helpless. Not worth watching.
