The future and the past are about to collide with serious and bloody consequences in Well Go USA’s newest time bending action epic Back to the Past. Co-directors Ng Yuen-fai and Jack Lai assemble a sensational cast including Louis Koo and the film is a barrage of period sword swinging fantasy infused with modern military tactical action for a satisfying viewing experience for hardcore fans of these kinds of epic action films. Oh, and the action design was executed by none other than martial arts action icon Sammo Hung so there’s that as well.

Movies that contain sensational period style sword and sandal action or brutal tactical action from modern day are always on my card but to combine them in one film is a chef’s kiss. If you think that seeing present day mercenaries battle Qin Dynasty warriors utilizing swords, horses and bows and arrows would be nothing short of fantastic, you’d be right. The action set pieces and design are top shelf and fusing two periods of fighting styles together marks for an eye-popping experience with immersive tactics from two totally different ages of combat.
Back to the Past is now playing in theaters across the nation and to find a theater close to you click here!
