An Empress And The Warriors 江山美人

The story was set in Ancient China before it’s unification, during which countless kingdoms battle for supremacy. Yen Feier 燕飞儿 (by Kelly Chen 陈慧琳) is thrust on the throne when her father is killed in a battle. Feier and her loyal general Murong Xuehu 慕容雪虎 (by Donnie Yen) unite to defend the kingdom. But her ambitious cousin Wu Ba 胡霸 (by Guo Xiaodong) sends assassins to kill her.

A mysterious man Duan Lan-Quan 段兰泉 (by Leon Lai) saves her. Feier falls in love with Duan who offers her a freedom life. With the fate of her kingdom in the balance, Feier must choose between her duty and her dreams. But Feier still choose freedom life with her love one.

The story highlights that woman emphasize love more than works which is not suitable for modern working lady nowadays. Because of love, Feier make her followers sacrifice. The movie makes the audience feel that woman useless, only talk about love, love and love which is not. Anyway, very nice to watch Donnie Yen's fighting scene.

Movie Rating: 5 / 10
