Louis Koo understood the assignment


This is a video game movie. Not in the sense that it's based on a video game (it is) but that the game FEELS like several game actions strung along with the barest, flimsiest plot. Perhaps the plot would be more familiar with it if I was more familiar with Three Dynasties stories, but I'm not.

Of the performances, I feel like Louis Koo was one of the only cast members who seemed to like "get" what kind of movie he was in. There's a level of like, sincere and stoic that he hit that is perfect for Lu Bu and a film this ludicrous.

I love the absurd butt rock while men run around and fight each other in wire work. Like ok, give me more of that nonsense than like, posh orchestral scores. This feels oddly visceral but then, that's Dynasty Warriors.
