Synopsis: The Warlords, initially puts us in a bloody battle, where an imperial army general starring Jet Li is the sole survivor of a real butcher in the midst of civil war in 1860. Devastated by the death of all men, the General decides to find redemption and revenge. In his journey he meets a woman who welcomes him and likewise, joins an army of bandits led by the characters of Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau. Twinned with violence and death to these two men build an army that would bring the blood and death the way to freedom for all men.
A story of friendship, loyalty, violence and betrayal brilliantly filmed, with remarkable performances by the three protagonists, all notable actors (Lau and Kaneshiro had been together in the house of flying daggers, not sure if any more) and show the struggle between beliefs, passion, duty and survival ... a terrible and cruel history while exciting. I do not know because you are not looking at all now.
