It's hard for me to write a good review of this movie. On one hand, I love the martial art fighting scenes, they are very well choreographed, and I have seen a lot of Hong Kong martial art movies circa 1990. On the other hand, the plot is very weak.
The movie feels like a bump absorber. The martial art scenes spice it up, then it drags on and on and gets bored, only to spice up again with the next fighting scene...
The final fighting scene is one of the best I have seen. However, having the meat cleaver in the final moment feels more an inapt insertion than a fight enhancer.
I still prefer the Swordsman series over Dragon Inn.
