Title: hero is a hero
Review: This movie has it all: epic battles, outstanding sword play, wu xia, romance, intrigue. Based loosely on an historical character--the cruel, but shrewd Xin, the first man to unite the provences of China into a single country. The hero's goal is to assinate Xin to avenge his father's death and to relieve is home provence from the threat of the cruel Xin. He executes a clever ploy to get close enough to Xin, again loosely based on an historical attempt on Xin's life, to acheive his goal. Both men, face to face, are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for what they believe in in the spell-binding climax. I would put this movie on par with Chariots of Fire for the portrayal of man's struggle for truth and integrity--with great action as anyone familiar with Jet Li would expect and spectacular cinematography.
