Additional InformationAn honorable, brave farmer volunteers to help defend the Ming Dynasty against a gang of dissembling eunuchs with a coup d'etat on their minds. The film features Hong Kong superstars Michelle Yeoh, Tony Leung, and Donnie Yen.
If I've seen a worse film, I don't remember it. This film has no redeeming features.
Poor plot. Stupidly gory fight scenes that are unconvincing and filmed so hectically that it isn't possible to follow the action anyway.
It says on the front cover "Even more impressive than crouching tiger, hidden dragon" - no wonder that statement is in quotes, otherwise you could sue them for trades description violation. Crouching tiger this isn't. Production values are completely rubbish.
I watched this once - 84 minutes I'll never get back - and then put it straight on the pile of things to go to the charity shop. But I'm wondering if I should spare the charity shop getting a bad reputation and just send it straight to landfill...
