If you loved The Admiral: Roaring Currents, try The Swordsman

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Action / Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Admiral: Roaring Currents, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Swordsman is

You live in quiet isolation after a failed coup and an injury that cost you your sight. But slave traders abduct your daughter. Choi Jae-hoon directs with kinetic fight choreography. The film lingers on a father's protective love.
