Shaolin (2010) Online

Set in China during the early 20th Century Warlord era, Shaolin follows Hao, a ruthless general. His battlefield victories have amassed him huge wealth at the expense of the country's vast, struggling population.
Hao is betrayed by his own ambitious apprentice, Cao. His family is torn apart forever, he is stripped of his riches and forced to flee for his life.
Seeking refuge with the monks at the Shaolin Temple - a group of men who had previously been the victims of his treachery - Hao becomes a monk and slowly rebuilds his life according to Buddhist doctrine.
But Cao, together with some evil British imperialists, suck Hao back into violence when they threaten to destroy him, what remains of his family, the Shaolin monks and the Shaolin Temple itself.
Despite carrying the name Shaolin, this is not a kung fu movie.
There is some action and indeed some fairly good kung fu, but Shaolin is much more a melodramatic Chinese tale of redemption and Buddhist wisdom than an action film.
It’s beautifully shot and generally well acted, especially by Andy Lau in the lead, but the story is fairly predictable and its message is about as subtle and nuanced as a sledgehammer.
Jackie Chan has a small role and has just one fight – which is a highlight and is the single bit of light-heartedness in what is otherwise an extremely earnest and sincere film.
