2006
133 minutes
Mandarin, excellent English subtitles
5 Stars
Rainy Day has a confession to make: Just about anything with
Andy Lau will get a five star rating, and just about any movie that takes place
during the Warring States Period that she can find will be watched. This movie
has both. Some great battle scenes, aerial battles (yes!), thousands of horses
and extras, and some excellent swordfights. The Zhau army, on their way to
invade another state, decide to conquer the city state of Liang, which stands
in the way. Enter Ge Li, our hero, who comes a Mohist and turns the tide
battle, only to be betrayed by the king whose kingdom he just saved. Directed by JCL Cheung, who also directed
Hero. Lots of fun.
