Great story supported by Stunning Cinematography

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2003)

WoW! That's all we could say after watching this. Throughout the movie we kept stating our amazement that this was a Chinese film since the cinematography was on par with Hollywood.
Beyond the stunning imagery (which I dare say comes close to "Lawrence of Arabia" quality), the storyline was simple, classic, and developed very well.
Don't watch this if all you want is non-stop fighting. You'll be disappointed since this movie has more depth than fighting.
If you like a good story, and a historical flavor, then you will probably enjoy this gem.
