Title: A work of irony?
Review: Gorgeous cinematography, but pretty boringly told. Excessive use of slo-mo detracted from the action sequences. In repeatedly borrowing from Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will, Zhang may have intended this as a work of irony. It certainly slipped past the Chinese censors. Most Chinese audiences are, of course, immune to irony.
