A warrior's loyalty is tested by a beautiful rebel, as war and deception entangle their epic romance.
Romantic and suspenseful. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video, The Roku Channel (free) and YouTube (free).
Brutal violence, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, some innuendo or implied sex and no swearing.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the violence.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
In 9th century China, a corrupt government wages war against a rebel army called the Flying Daggers. A romantic warrior breaks a beautiful rebel out of prison to help her rejoin her fellows, but things are not what they seem.
