Definitely not your typical martial arts movie. Make no mistake: This is an action movie and is packed with some of the best fight choreography I've seen but this is NOT your typical martial arts film. _Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In_ has to rank as probably the best Asian-produced martial arts movie I've watched, and that includes all of the Bruce Lee movies as well as numerous movies starring Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, et al. The character development, the raw emotions, the storyline itself...they were all just superb, with some great atmospheric cinematography to boot. In the first few minutes, I was afraid this would be another roll-your-eyes indestructible superhero-type ninja kung fu watch-me-stop-four-guys-with-one-punch martial arts film...and even though I was hoping for something different, I was prepared for that. (I reserve the right to always turn something off if it just gets too bad.) This, however, was a huge surprise and it drew me in very quickly...and the more it drew me in, the more invested I became in each member of the cast. They all did wonderfully at portraying their parts and really deserve to be seen. If you're looking for a great martial arts movie that has a real depth to it, I highly suggest giving this one a shot. It's a bit lengthy, and my one complaint was that the closing fight scene just pushed the envelope a tiny bit too far. But that was easily forgiven due to the rest of the film, and as I've mentioned before, I don't know if Asians consider this great cinema or not. Maybe they can more easily accept - and even indulge - the "evil spirit powers" thing; I don't know. In any event, it was a great film and a very nice surprise.
