Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2001)

In the dictionary, brilliant is defined as 'shining with light, amazing and extremely clever' - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is all these things and more! Not only are the landscapes radiant and magnificent, the fight scenes are perfect to a 'tee'! Extremely cool, quick, stylish and chic, the films shines with superb brilliance throughout, leaving you not knowing what to expect next. Michelle Yeoh is a superb heroine and, well Chow Yun Fat is just Chow Yun Fat - the master! Although the plot is not up to the standard of The Matrix, anyone is sure to enjoy this art, from your grandmother to your 13-year-old nephew! Whether it be for the sheer quickness of the fight scenes or to admire the beauty of the culture and language of China, this film is an all-round bestseller!
If only all films had such vividness and genius as that of the Chinese film directors.....
