Preview: Shaolin (2011)

Synopsis:

A corrupt general, deposed by his vicious lieutenant, seeks shelter in a Shaolin Temple where he comes to terms with his cruel ways and redeems himself in his own eyes allowing him to take on the new, more treacherous ruler of the country.

• Poster: B-

Review:

You wouldn't expect a poster that has such a simple foreground to be so rich in detail, but looking into the background you find some very beautiful design work. This is how you use space effectively.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It looks like your typical martial arts spectacle, but with Jackie Chan back in his element, and a cast that is more compelling than comical, it could be a decent genre exercise.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
