“The Promise” was vintage special effects in the martial arts department. With flying stunts and leaping, the special effects are similar to those in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”. The costumes are colorful and the storyline legend is interesting. Many scenes are disjointed and hard to follow, but overall it manages to keep your attention and interest even with the English voice over dubbing. Because of the sexual content and the graphic violence, The Dove Foundation cannot award “The Promise” the Dove Seal.
