When a collection of Asian artifacts is disposed of at a local antique shop, a mythical series of events begins to unfold. The shop owner is turned into a warrior in ancient China fated to battle a demon responsible for enslaving all of humankind. He is encouraged but then ultimately betrayed by a deceptive female warrior who has captured his heart, and therefore carries his greatest weakness in her hands. An eternal prophecy has defined this hero's fate; now he must fight back against the impossible. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

Based on the poster, based on the Kalevala epic and based on the fact that it was filmed by the Finns, I thought that this will either be a total blast or a total flop. And the best thing about it were the contradicting opinions that it’s either really good or really bad. And unfortunately, I have to lean towards the “bad”. I didn’t really love the combination of history vs the present. I also didn’t love the combination of Finland vs China, even though I thought I wouldn’t mind at first. But it just wasn’t fun, it was really stupid and everything else stood or fell by that. In any case, I must admit that the filmmaking was really nice at times, especially the Kung Fu scenes; the Finns probably won’t get to film those again.
