B+ Sound: B+ Extras: C Film: B
Three
legendary warriors plot to overthrow a corrupt government, but when
one of them betrays them, the rebellion is crushed and the people
killed. 20 years later, a young girl raised by one of the surviving
masters has been trained all her life to avenge those who died. But
for justice, revenge or vengeance will end in tragedy?
In
Heung-Sik Park's Memories Of The Sword (2015), Hong-yi has
been raised all her life to believe her father was killed by the
traitorous hero of the rebellion, but in truth she is the daughter of
the now tyrant who controls government, the minister. She was raised
by her blind swordmaster mother who believe it to be karma justice
for her lover/betrayer to be killed by his own daughter. After
discovering the truth will she have to courage to kill her own father
still?
This was yet another Korean Martial arts film and it
seems like in all Korean films the government is portrayed as corrupt
and evil, all those who have work in the government have gotten there
by betrayal and deceit. That no matter who you are, even a hero, can
become evil when tempted by power. There is no honor in the Korean
government, only tragedy, sacrifice and loss.
The
1080p 2.35 X 1 digital High Definition image is an Arri Alexa HD
shoot that looks really good throughout, while the DTS-HD MA (Master
Audio) 5.1 lossless mix is aggressively effective throughout. Extras
include trailers only.
