Movie Description
After directing stylish action films such as THE KILLERS and FACE-OFF, director John Woo turns to Chinese history for inspiration with RED CLIFF. The Han Dynasty is facing its death in third century China, and the emperor raises a million-man army against two kingdoms that are hopelessly outmatched. This war film stars Tony Leung, the beloved actor best known for LUST, CAUTION and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.
Industry Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Woo's trademark affection for such traditional ideals as honor, dignity and sacrifice bleed from the screen like proudly-suffered war wounds..."
