\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

During the 16th century, pirates rule the Chinese coastline, pillaging the small villages and terrorizing the citizens. When maverick leader Commander Yu (SAMMO HUNG) enlists the help of a sharp young general (VINCENT ZHAO), they devise a plan to defeat the pirates. A violent clash of wit and weapons will decide who will rule the land.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Well Go USA releases God of War<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer which features sharp detail and colors, including the blood red during the war sequences, are vibrant even given the darker tones with being a war movie. The film includes both a Chinese language DTS:X (decodes to DTS-HD MA 7.1) and Dolby Digital Stereo tracks and while the former isn\u2019t exceptional, the war sequences is filled with good depth with gunfire and general wartime action.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, God of War<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a great war film but the action and fight sequences were well shot by action director Gordon Chan and the lead performance from Vincent Zhao was well balanced. Although not quite my kind of movie, it\u2019s worth a watch for those interested in the subject.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
