Confusing it may be, boring it isn't.

Initially astonishing, overly complicated, increasingly incoherent, and ultimately silly ...

Those who look for a more patient and meditative experience within the [martial-arts] genre will get more than their money's worth.

During the impressive action sequences - which Xu choreographed himself - the director plays it straight. Otherwise, he introduces playful kinks into most of the genre's other conventions.

Xu Haofeng may have an original eye but he desperately needs a collaborator that can help convey his ideas in a much more enjoyably cinematic fashion. Hopefully his next film, he can do this but in the meantime, The Final Master is a colossal bore.

Haofeng's movie doesn't feel like many other movies of its ilk. That's mostly a good thing, even if the movie can't quite fit all its eccentric pieces into a satisfying whole.

It's an interesting theme with historical resonance-the filmmaker suggests that the failure to share power and knowledge left them vulnerable to invaders-but a confused story that gets lost in the subterfuge and machinations.
