simultaneously satire and homage

If you don't mind all the graphic violence - severed limbs flying through the air, spurting blood, etc - this is a very fun and funny martial arts film.

It is like Tarantino took elements from every sock 'em / cut 'em film he ever enjoyed and wound them together in a rollicking good story. Uma Thurman is great and, while unbelievably super, is convincing enough for you to forget that it is impossible to face down, say, 40 sword- and mace-wielding contract killers in a go. Indeed, Thurman is as beautiful as ever, and this time deadly.

Recommended. Just keep the barf bag nearby.
