"Shadowless Sword"is a 2005 South Korean film. A martial arts epic filmed in China, the film follows the exploits of the last prince of the Balhae Kingdom, who hides his identity in a small village until he is called to battle invaders from Khitan.
The film is an unsubstantial genre entry with few outstanding moments, but is nevertheless pleasingly (if vacuously) entertaining from beginning to end. The nearly two hour running time will seem like 90 minutes, and there is just so much action that it’s hard to ever get bored, whether by the perfunctory romance, or director's (Young-jun Kim) oblivious attempt at some sort of plot twist involving Soha and Jeong-Hyeon’s shared history. Plus, there are some unintentional comedy to be had, especially in the early parts when it looks as if all the men’s wardrobe came straight from Captain Jack Sparrow’s private collection.
