Stunning new genre action film from the Orient

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2000)

There is no doubt about it. CTHD will set a new tone for future action film. I fully agree with all my co-commentators' positive remarks about this new stunning action film. Can't wait to get hold of the DVD. One can watch this film over and over again. The actions are artistically choreographed like a ballet that they deserve multiple viewing. The fighting scene is surreal. Intertwined with the actions is the human tragedy story superbly performed by all the actors. Marvellous balance action film from the Orient. I wonder if the West (Hollywood) can answer with a similar action film blended with divine gracefulness and that contains a deep romantic historical root. Highly recommended for the whole world. You are guaranteed to get an unusually high feeling just like coming out from the first Star Wars or Indiana Jones films.
