brilliant, beautiful - poetry in motion!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2001)

The first thing that struck me about this film was it's exquisite direction - Ang Lee again proves he's a genius of film making. The second thing is the martial art/fight/action scenes. There is simply something for everyone in this masterpiece.
Great acting, amazing scenery and a terrific score all contribute to making this one of the best films I've seen in a long time.
Enthusiastically recommended. 4.5/5
