As a boy, Vajra was torn from his family in China, and forced to kill for Japan's Temple of Hades. But he has never forgiven the temple for causing the death of his brother, and many years later, Vajra starts a fight to destroy the temple. In the 1930s, before the Western powers entered World War II, a Japanese death cult called the Temple of Hades is ordered to aid in the spiritual destruction of China. Their method: abduct their enemies' children and train them as killers for the Emperor. Young Vajra was especially gifted, but swears a secret oath of revenge when his brother dies. Now the greatest assassin in the temple, Vajra escapes to China and begins his quest to protect the innocent, and destroy the ones responsible for making him a living weapon. (Cinemax)

When it comes to martial arts, this is really impressive, and not only the final story, which is simply breathtaking in its visual representation. Martial arts is what this film excels at. Unfortunately, the story in this case is something else, and it is unfortunately not a very pleasant cliché that will not impress the average viewer. It saddens me a little because the film deserves a better story due to those fight scenes. The fantasy elements, then, are almost unnecessary.
