Warlords

Almost two years after it's release in it's native China, Jet Li action epic Warlords is finally be getting a US release this month.

In a somewhat odd strategy the film will be available 'on-demand' via cable, Xbox Live and Playstation Network from today, before a limited cinema release on 2 April

Cinematical has an exclusive clip from the movie, embedded below, together with this synopsis:-

Set in the midst of war and political upheaval during the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s, WARLORDS stars Jet Li as General Pang, who barely survives a brutal massacre of his fellow soldiers by playing dead, and joins a band of bandits led by Er Hu (Andy Lau) and Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro). After fighting back attackers from an helpless village, the three men take an oath to become "blood brothers," pledging loyalty to one another until death, but things quickly turn sour and the three men become embroiled in a web of political deceit, and a love triangle between Pang, Er Hu and a beautiful courtesan (Wu Jing-Lei).
