Stunning

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

Also titled "Quentin Tatantino presents Hero" ,I have not yet found why as he is neither producer or director but only interviews Jet Li in the bonus features.
Based on historical facts a nameless hero has to kill 3 assassins. Jet Li stars as Nameless and the story unfolds in a series of flashbacks. Having watched a few Kung Fu cheese recently I expected more of the same but was overcome by a masterpiece of cinematography. Using wire effects and slow motion this is a feast for the eyes with brilliant colour and scenery and a . A story that unfolds with twists and turns to the end, this brought a tear to my eye. Definitely not kung fu cheese. If you haven't seen it then this is a must.
