Ratings and reviews

This movie isn't just the best martial arts movie ever made...it's the best movie ever made.period. The story line delightfully twists and turns through impecable cinematograghy, landscapes, choreography, fantastic acting and excellent storytelling. This is my favorite movie and nothing has been able to touch it since its release in 2000. Puts all other martial arts movies to absolute and total shame. Many have tried to imitate yet none have came even remotely close to this epic masterpiece. Best movie ever

This is my all time favorite martial art movie. The best combination of sex, action, music and suspense put together in a dramatic and entertaining format. A higher standard of movie making is achieved.

It has everything from romance to great fighting skills from everyone. I love the female leads and the male characters. 🔆♒⏳💯
