Graceful story told

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2001)

This is no kung-fu movie. To describe it as an encapsulated epic is more appropriate. I wanted to see this movie because of Chow Yon Fat and left enchanted with Michelle Yeoh. The filming was beautiful, the fight scenes fantastic and the special effects enhanced, rather than overtook, the movie. I left the movie trying to think of a way to describe it. "hot girl on girl action" was what I came up with. The two women did the majority of the fighting in the movie. They remained fully clothed, absolutely respectable and neither one fell and twisted her ankle.
Their were quite a few chuckles in the audience and as my dear husband said, "I can find no fault with the fight scenes." We went with 2 girls and 3 guys and all of us enjoyed it.
