Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Swordsmen, also known as Wu Xia, is a 2011 film directed by Peter Chan and starring Donnie Yen, Jimmy Wang Yu, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Kara Wai.Liu Jinxi (Donnie Yen) is just a non-notable villager in a small village, but he was able to kill a pair of bandits, one of whom was a very skilled fighter and on the most-wanted list. Detective Xu Baijiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro) is sent to investigate.Thus begins a martial arts thriller that touches on themes of law versus good and destiny versus free will.Not related to the similarly-titled fanfic, Swordsmen, nor the 1990s Swordsman trilogy.

Armor Is Useless: The master's qigong or control of his internal energy is enough to stop a blade.

Badass Normal: Xu Baijiu does not know martial arts beyond his acupuncture skills, but he manages to defeat the Master using needles and lightning, at the cost of his life.

Ambiguously Evil: The detective Baijiu firmly adheres to law, but he is shown to be quite underhanded and amoral.
