10/10
Well done tragicomedy
11 December 2011
I loved this flick, but of course I am not a popular movie fan. Besides I have much interest in Chinese language, history and mentality. Storytelling is not as tight as in some recent western films, but exactly this gives viewers the opportunity to think and reflect on events. I really appreciated the anti-war sentiment, what is quite common in today's Chinese movies.

Pros: -beautiful scenery -Jackie excels in comic situations -Chinese energy

Cons: -too much slapstick -some scenes may seem unrefined

Let's see, if it reaches the magical seven ;)

Other excellent Chinese movies I would advise: Hua Mulan (2009), Red Cliff, IP Man
