With a stellar cast like this, what’s there not to like about the 125 minute movie which reportedly cost US$37 million to make?Īt first glance, the movie directed by Wuershan (The Butcher, the Chef and the Swordsman) and produced by Chen Kuo Fu (You Are The One) seems like an Asian rip off of adventure franchises like Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider (check out the, ahem, not so inspired costume donned by the leads). There’s also the up and coming Hong Kong actress Cherry Ngan (The Way We Dance) in the mix. The supporting cast is equally worthy – there’s Mrs Huang Xiaoming Angelababy, as well as veterans Xia Yu (Breakup Buddies) and Liu Xiaoqing (Legendary Amazons).
Accompanying the two men is the gorgeous Shu Qi, who has been receiving international acclaim for her restrainedly powerful role in The Assassin (2015). His co star is the ridiculously good looking Chen Kun, who has appeared in blockbusters like Painted Skin: The Resurrection (2012) and Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon (2013).
It stars Huang Bo, the Beijing Film Academy graduate who delivered top notch performances as Sun Wukong in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013) and a father in search of his lost child in Dearest (2014). There are enough reasons to be excited about this action fantasy thriller. Before long, the three get thrown back into the job, raiding the secrets and treasures of ancient tombs in China, risking their friendship and even their lives on the tumultuous journey. While relishing retired civilian life on the mean streets of New York City hawking goods, they are approached by a shady client. Synopsis: Mojin-The Lost Legend is an epic fantasy adventure about a trio of legendary grave robbers. Cast: Chen Kun, Angelababy, Shu Qi, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Cherry Ngan, Liu Xiao Qing
