Directed: Jing Shang
Genre: Action | Comedy
Runtime: 106 mins
Country: China
Language: Mandarin
Subtitles: English, Chinese (Simplified)
Plot:
Already adapted into a 2006 online game, a 2007 stage prequel and a 2009 animated film, the phenomenally successful 80-episode martial-arts sitcom My Own Swordsman (2006) had a high mountain to climb for a feature-film version. The surprise is that — with the original director and lead writer, plus virtually all the main cast, on board again — the result isn't a lazy, TV-style ploughing of the same furrow. Characters have been developed and slightly changed during the four-year gap so that they are still recognisable but have a fresh feel and dynamics; direction by Shang Jing is big-screen cinema stuff, opening out the action to show the whole town rather than just the interior of the inn in which the CCTV series was set; and framing and editing are similarly cinematic. Even more notably, the movie has some of the liveliest and best-staged action-comedy seen so far in a Mainland movie without any offshore help: the finale in the booby-trapped inn is the equal of anything in a similar Hong Kong movie.
