WOW - Captivating Story & Amazing Action

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2001)

If you are one of the few who have not seen this movie yet, don't wait for it to come to video -- see it on a big screen before it leaves theaters. Yes, it's in Chinese with English subtitles, but by the end of the movie you will swear they were speaking English the entire time.
The story is thoroughly captivating and touching, for both men and women. Two unrequited love stories intertwine to produce a tale sure to reach every person. The cinematography complements the story's setting... lush and exotic, with vivid hues and immense backgrounds.
And the action -- my gosh, the action! Such amazing martial arts combat scenes will leave you breathless with wonder and awe. The style employed is quite a bit different than most martial arts movies, much more elegant and basic reflecting the nature of the Wudan warrior discipline (part of the storyline).
