Roshomon flashbacks, solid acting

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2008)

I think that this movie is Jet Li's finest work. The story is told through flashbacks, with color schemes representing the most violent, the most romantic, and the truth. Jet Li, who was originally supposed to play Li Mu Bi in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, plays a protagonist known simply as Nameless. He is sent to see the King of Qin after vanquishing three of the kingdom's most deadly assassins. through flashbacks, we are able to see the story from the most violent perspective, the most romantic perspective, and from the truth. The color schemes used are red, blue, and white, respectively. The movie is very well acted and the fight scene between Jet Li and Donnie Yen is pretty cool. Overall, an excellent movie. Bravo!
