Shaolin

More story than I expected, well done. A warlord who ambushes and kills his rival loses everything he ever loved or cared about, and ends up a fugitive who finds refuge in a Shaolin monastery. There he finds redemption. At least for a while.

Marvelous choreography, great fight scenes, just an over all first rate wuxia movie. A little long in places, but worth the time to watch. And Jackie Chan steals the show.
