A great story, told beautifully

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2005)

It's hard for me to articulate how beautiful this movie is. I only know that I was glued to the set the entire time. I thought this was an action movie - one I was use to as a high school student going into Chinatown to see a flick about the martial arts.
Beyond the action scenes there is a deep abiding story that cries out and speaks to your heart. Surrounded by great scenic views, a great script, a great cast (Jet Li is totally awesome - as always), great direction, great set, ... it's an epic drama.
If you have any empathy for another culture this movie will not let you down. You must go see it. 10+/10.
