It's 228 A.D. China is divided among the Wei, Wu and Shu kingdoms. Zhao Zilong (Andy Lau) and Luo Ping-An (Sammo Hung) are at an outmanned Shu outpost in Liu Bei's army. They are part of adviser Zhuge Liang's successful surprise attack. Later, Ping-An is ambushed and loses Liu Bei's family. Zilong goes off and rescues Liu Bei's baby son. He comes face to face with warlord Cao Cao. Zilong would become one of the Five Tiger Generals and later face off against Cao Cao's granddaughter Cao Ying (Maggie Q).
This tries to be an epic war period piece. While the story is easy to follow, there is a lack of emotional acting. The war action is lacking intensity. It uses too much slow motion and needs to be filmed better. Overall, it's a boring war movie and the performances are lacking. Sammo Hung is the only one bringing any kind of personality.
