A cataclysmic mess; with a story that seems as intentionally incoherent as possible and action sequences hacked into indecipherable blurs. Full review by Chris Pandolfi.
Deadline:
Doug Liman has come aboard as presenter of The Butcher, The Chef and The Swordsman, a Mandarin-language film that was made for China by Fox International Productions but will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Directed by Chinese filmmaker Wuershan, the film has the kind of visual stylized martial arts action that could give it a shot to break out beyond China, where it will be released this fall.
