The Warlords

Chinese directors Peter Chan & Wai Man Yip teamed up for this epic about China's recent past. A general becomes blood brothers with two bandits in order to fight a common enemy. However when the general unknowingly falls in love with the wife of a brother, it threatens their bond of brotherhood in a dangerous time of power struggle. Asians superstars Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro star as the three men torn between love and loyalty. While the film is solid, there's nothing new in the formula except for bringing the three stars together for a blockbuster. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
