ANY WAY YOU SLICE 'EM: SEVEN SWORDS

Twitch is reporting that the online listings for the SEVEN SWORDS DVD (released September 30) will have English subs and be the 153 minute version. Yep, it's the 2 1/2 hour flick, not Tsui's promised 4 HOUR version.

Screen Daily has posted a review here that sez: ignore the movie, watch the action.

And Variety has also posted a review that sez: it's good here and there, but too long, too confusing and it ain't no BLADE.

SEVEN SWORDS opened the Venice Film Festival Wednesday with fireworks spelling out its title, and so far it's made US$10 million in China and about US$1 million in HK.
