Great film even if you're not into Martial Arts / Kung Fu

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2001)

Excellent acting, great shooting, superb SFX, best Choreography. And the story is pretty thick also, not only showing the desperateness of a young girl in a traditional role-based chinese society; even the characters have many facettes and the actors manage to transport the inner conflicts of them on screen. And: no stupid happy end, not that the viewer (me) wouldn't have wanted one... 8,5 out of 10.
