Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
"Mojin" wastes some fine actors ... on predictable, one-dimensional characters, and once the tomb is entered, the underground sets become all but interchangeable. What starts eerie becomes strictly cartoonish.

rotten:
Come for the murky action, and stay for the shudder-inducing feeling of nostalgia for Mao's Cultural Revolution. It's a very odd movie, indeed.

fresh:
"Mojin: The Lost Legend" barrels forth with enough robust action and technical moxie to make audiences overlook its formulaic plotting and rote characterizations.
