A Man Called Hero is a late 90's swordplay film based on a comic book. Having a comic book/ manga style mixed with a lot of CGI special F/X. Starring Ekin Cheng, he is backed up by Yuen Biao, Shu Qui, Francis Ng and Elvis Tsui. Having a solid cast and directed by Andrew Lau, the film is ready to rock n 'roll with a mix of comic book type action and solid choreographed kung fu. The film looks really slick with nice camera work. The story is all over the place and is on par with a lot of other Chinese swordplay films in that regard. A Man Called Hero takes a different approach. It is not among my favorites in the genre, but is certainly good enough to warrant a watch. Ekin "The Man With The Hair"Cheng and friends did enough to entertain me this evening.
