[Movie Review] The Warlords

I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks to see the movie, finally I got my chance. Three hunky hotties made me curious and I was so excited when the news came up.

The film is set in the 1860s, during the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty in China. The story, based on an unresolved crime in 1870, tells of three sworn brothers (played by Andy Lau, Jet Li and Takeshi Kaneshiro) who are forced to turn against one another due to the harsh realities of war and political intrigue. Minor plot of a love triangle between Andy Lau & Jet Li over a beautiful woman (Xu Jinglei). (Source: wikipedia).

The story is about the intrique, politics, conflict, personal interest, trust, pride, dillema, loyality and all. Pang Qing Yun (Jet Li) as ex General who lost his men after the battle and accidently met Jiang Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro), Jiang and Zhao Er Hu (Andy Lau) - the Big Brother were bandits with many people behind them. At last the Three made a promise that they were brothers, together to conquer Nanjing from Taiping until death do them apart......because of politics and intrique....and missunderstanding! The love triangle was also included between Pang and Zhao over Lian.
