Synopsis:

In feudal China, the King of Qin is waging a bloody campaign to conquer the entire land. He has been made a target of three dangerous assassins: spear-wielding Sky, and the lovers Broken Sword and Flying Snow. One day word comes that he has nothing left to fear; a prefect known only as Nameless has killed all three assassins. Nameless is called to the palace and asked to recount the tale of how he accomplished this amazing feat. After he tells his story, however, the King notices some flaws in it...

Brian's Rating: A : Like "Couching Tiger..." this movie uses the cool effect of a type of choreographed martial arts fighting using wires to float the fighters at times.  It makes for a mystical type of Kung Fu where the fights are still really cool, but there is an untold power that allows the fighters to defy the laws of physics.  It is sort of like Kung Fu using the Force from Star Wars.

A well made choreographed martial arts fight scene is one of the coolest things to watch in a movie if you ask me.  This movie has those scenes, and combines it with an artistic means of telling the story.

I do not want to say much about the plot and ruin the movie for anybody who has not seen it, but it is a good story, and has one of those endings that makes you think about it more.

I recognize that movies like these are not for everybody, but it is in 'A' in my book.

Sebastian's Rating: A- : its just one of those movies that are good entertainment because of the action.
