Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2001)

This was a very satisfying film. Beautiful and strange, balletic, and a lovely score. I went right out and purchased the CD and listen to it almost every day. Chow Yun Fat is a beautiful human being and all the main players do an outstanding job. I look forward to seeing it again and to having a copy for my library of films. My first ever martial arts film and one of the only sub-titled film I have ever liked, but it is a fantasy that is understandable in every culture. I guess these themes have been in the human experience of country. And the women are great!!! I look forward to seeing all the main stars in more films.
