Each holding a weapon that consists of 14 pieces sword: 8 is used to torture, to kill 5, and 1 special sword to kill themselves if not successfully completed the mission. The Jinyiwei so feared in China because the entire plateau is famous for killing the target sadism.
At that time, there was a conspiracy and betrayal in the Jinyiwei organization. Using sheep poitik contest, the Jinyiwei who defected to remove Jinyiwei still loyal to the emperor. Jinyiwei who have bad intentions affect the prince to cut out all the “traitors”. This mission fell into the hands Qinlong (Donnie Yen), one of the best Jinyiwei owned by Empire.

Many people predict that 14 Blades will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor. Install the famous actors and actresses such as Donnie Yen, Wu Chun, Zao Wei, and Wu Ma senior actors, this film has its own advantages. They are acting in this film deserves thumbs up. Daniel Lee’s decision they chose to play the movie for 15 million dollars this is the right step.
14 Blades did look like a film that features mostly Mandarin martial art side of it. However, there are other things more attention, namely the film setting selection. Daniel Lee tried to bring a new atmosphere in a packed movie this one. Daniel prefer to play with the desert sand and mix a little nuance of Mongols in it. The women in this film looks mighty with robes, boots, and a headband. Forget appearances typical female Mandarin movies martial arts shoes, shiny silk shirt, and hair ornaments are beautiful and colorful. In fact, I had thought that the appearance of characters Qinlong almost the same as Sherlock Homes starring Robert Downey Jr.. one more thing that I salute from a Daniel Lee, he entered the Arab element to sweeten this movie.
