Warning: Spoilers
This is a Korean film (subtitles) that takes place in 1623. Tae-yul gets caught up in a war between rival Masters and Kings. When his daughter is taken the film eerily looks like "Kill Bill" with long one on one fights, a quick battle with the 88 and then some more one on one. If this was based on a true story then it is the foundation for "Kill Bill" as "Romeo and Juliet" was to "West Side Story."

For me the various relationship with characters that looked too much alike with shifting loyalties proved confusing and I had to just settle for watching people getting sliced and diced. BTW our hero has "blue eyes" (cataracts) and has blurred vision.

No swearing, sex, or nudity. Attempted rape.
