Editor Oh Myoung-jun shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Gripping - the plot develops to a hyper emotional final. Everything in the movie leads to the end - the sword fights are nice but nothing but an aid to the plot. Highly surprised this movie fetches such a low rating
