Must SEE if you are Hong Kong Action fan

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2001)

Incredible movie. Epic in scope. Not just an action film, but moving love story.
The action however, is spectacular. As with Hong Kong movies, there has to be some suspension of disbelief as the fighting styles are entrenched with mystical abilities. Flying/Jumping 30, 40 yards over buildings etc.
What really got me is the jumping onto rooftops is nothing new, but the action scenes are long cuts instead of jumping to several camera angles. Several of the scenes you'll see the actor run up a wall, onto the roof top, then jump long distances, land and fight. I would like to have seen how they choreographed the whole stunt scenes. Swordplay is absolutely breathtaking. I can't say how much I enjoyed this movie.
Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun Fat besides doing great stunt work, are great characters in this movie. One of the best fantasy films. Something you'll never see out of hollywood, with the exception of maybe Mortal Kombat.
