Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark's take on the battle between the People's Libertation Army (PLA) of China and a Chinese warlord played by an almost unrecognizable Tony Leung Ka-fai. The warlord has been terrorizing the local population from a fortress located in a place called Tiger Mountain.
The film has a lot of thrilling action set pieces as only Tsui Hark can deliver and at times was clearly filmed during the winter which must have been a very miserable experience for the actors.
Tsui Hark is good a delivering action scenes and if there is a complaint it's that the movie runs 141 minutes which is a little on the long side.
The film was written by Tsui Hark, Wu Bing, Dong Zhe, Lin Chi-an and Li Yang.
Action filmmaking at it's best.
