It's a fairly typical HK swords fight movie -- not too bad, not too good. The plot is, the bad guy (Donnie Yen character) wants to eliminate one of his adversary and used two children as bait to lure out his adversary so he can be eliminated.
The romance between the Brigitte Lin character and the Tony Leung character could be more convincing if they use actress and actor of the same age.
There is one surprise hilarious moment near the end during the final battle. I wasn't expecting that because there is no other funny stuff in this movie. However, I think they should add more funny scenes like that.
At the end, there is a big plot hole: the whole army disappeared, only the main bad guy went and fight the good guys.
