Eye for an Eye

Eye for an Eye (2022) is a Chinese wuxia action film you can watch online on iFILM — the story of a blind swordsman who reads his enemies better than men with two good eyes. It unfolds during the Tang dynasty.

Cheng Yi was once a general, until a battlefield wound cost him his sight. Stripped of his rank and his living, he survives as a bounty hunter for the Board of Punishments. Then he stumbles onto a slaughter: the heir of a powerful clan has wiped out an entire family of winemakers, leaving one survivor — a young woman named Ni Yan. Cheng Yi cuts her free and agrees to escort her to Luoyang, where she means to see the killers face justice. The road becomes one duel after another, and the hero's blindness turns into a lethal edge.

Xie Miao takes the lead, with Yang Bingjia directing. A lean 90-minute drama that puts its weight on bladework and choreography in the old wuxia tradition. One for fans of stripped-down Eastern martial-arts cinema. Stream Eye for an Eye (2022) online on iFILM.
