I enjoyed "Shaolin" quite a lot and was genuinely surprised at captivating the story was and how good director Benny Chan is at telling a story to the audience. "Shaolin" also has a small role for martial arts legend Jackie Chan, and even in a supporting small role he shines, and really did add his usual charms and charisma to the movie. I bought this movie for two reasons the first reason was, of course, Andy Lau, and the second reason being that this is a Chinese martial arts drama. And of course it would be very unlikely not to be good with Andy Lau in the leading part.
A thing that turned out to be a mistake on my behalf, because this really is a good movie. I have been putting off watching "Shaolin" for a long, long time after I had purchased this movie from Amazon. It has lot of action, a phenomenal assembly of acting talents, a good story and nicely choreographed martial arts. If you are not familiar with Chinese cinema then "Shaolin" could be a good movie to start out with as an introduction to the wonderful world of Chinese cinema.
