The Warlords
2007
After emerging as the sole survivor in a battle between revolutionary troops and the Qing army, wounded Qing Gen. Ma Xinyi (Jet Li) is nursed back to heath by lovely peasant Lian (Jinglei Xu) in this epic Hong Kong blockbuster. After he recovers, Xinyi swears blood brotherhood with bandits Cao Er-Hu (Andy Lau) and Zhang Wen-Xiang (Takeshi Kaneshiro), and the trio wages a seemingly impossible campaign against the revolutionaries.

Action, Adventure, Foreign
Foreign with subtitles. This isn't a colorful or abstract movie, as some Asian films are - it's very direct and brutal. War, suffering, and lots of gray - not a happy movie and not particularly enjoyable to watch. It is fairly well done though
