ldh's review What a gorgeous film! A black&white film made in color, a mesmerizing performance from Chao Deng portraying 2 characters, all blending together majestically thanks to top notch cinematography, art direction, and seamless digital effects. The film features a creative and emotionally powerful grand battle scene that brings a great action set piece in an otherwise brainy affair. I just wished it had been edited a bit tighter. Similar in themes to Hero (2002), and slightly better executed overall, the film is nevertheless a bit less entertaining due to its slow pace for much of its runtime. - Laurent Hasson |
