REVIEW:
"...Movies like “Shadowless Sword” lives and dies by its promise of action, and in this area the film more than makes up for the pedestrian screenwriting. Still, even this aspect of the film is mired somewhat by Kim’s insistence on shooting the action scenes in such a frenetic style that it’s really impossible to tell what anyone is doing onscreen. Compare the action scenes here to Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, where every movement is precise and clearly visible, and “Shadowless Sword” sometimes comes across like an exercise in people posing with swords in-between moments of them leaping into the air and twirling around as hidden wires yank them to and fro. But if style is what you’re looking for, “Sword” has it in abundance.
“Shadowless Sword” is an unsubstantial genre entry with few outstanding moments, but is nevertheless pleasingly (if vacuously) entertaining from beginning to end. The nearly two hour running time will seem like 90 minutes, and there is just so much action that it’s hard to ever get bored, whether by the perfunctory romance, or Kim’s oblivious attempt at some sort of plot twist involving Soha and Jeong-Hyeon’s shared history. Plus, there are some unintentional (or were they intentional after all?) comedy to be had, especially in the early parts when it looks as if all the men’s wardrobe came straight from Captain Jack Sparrow’s private collection.
