What is Sakra about? Qiao Feng is actually a respected and quite powerful leader of a martial arts sect. But suddenly he is accused of having killed another. Along with his wife, he is expelled from the sect and must find out who is behind it all.
What kind of film is this? Sakra is based on a legendary Wuxia novel (Half-Gods and Half-Demons) and is a modern representative of the genre. Despite the tragic story of a fallen martial artist, the film is watched mainly for one reason: to see Donnie Yen fight.
In Sakra, the martial arts film legend shows that even at the age of 62, he can still deliver strong performances. He sweeps through masses of opponents who attack him not just in close combat. His fist fighting is especially impressive and a true eye-catcher.
