Another mixed bag from Donnie Yen. While the martial arts and fight choreography are fun, the movie itself is boring and incoherent. It feels like a hundred episode TV drama cut into 2 hours of random clips. The amount of nonsense in this movie completely overshadows the good action scenes, which is disappointing.

Sakra is a mixed bag at best. Well choreographed, martial arts action sequences, are "cut and pasted" into an inarticulate, meandering, disjointed film, with a weak, plot hole ridden, back story, derived from ancient Chinese folk lore, linked to the beggars clan. Donnie Yen and a larger cast of Hong Kong actors, can't save this film from its conspicuous shortcomings. In summary, this is a mediocre effort at best. Its moderately watchable but the dismal back story, combined with a general lack of cohesion is more a frustrating, than enjoyable watch.
