More exciting is Hu's handling of the minutes before violence erupts: His staging and editing pinballs our attention back and forth around the small inn, as conspirators furtively communicate with each other or gauge how to respond to the suspicions of Khan and his underlings. These masterful sequences are a delight.

Minimal on the wuxia, maximal on the espionage. Hot take, King Hu makes the best films that take place in an inn in ancient China.
