In truth, by today’s standards, the box office for "Brotherhood" is only average. After the impact of films like "Painted Skin II" and "Lost in Thailand" over the last couple of years, the audience is barely moved by a film barely crossing the 10 million mark on opening day. That is, if we are talking strictly about the numbers.
However, the film’s word-of-mouth is good; it captured the "flavor of martial arts" that everyone was looking for. Plus, Chen Ming looks truly dashing, especially the way he wipes his blade after a kill. The lead actor is handsome, and the lead actress is beautiful—save for a slight lack of soul in her eyes, everything else is fine. And hey, is a "blind beauty" not still a beauty?
