"John Woo is the best !" Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you like strategic war movies this is a must. Shows how a seemly invincible army can be beaten by cunning and determination. The best part is how they collected 100,000 arrows. Brilliant !

"A John Woo classic based on actual events"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Despite being subtitled the film more than met my expectations. It had fantastic battle scenes and expert martial arts skills from a cast of thousands. It was easy to follow the story which is based on a true record of events. Compelling viewing and left me wanting more.

Description

The Battle of Red Cliff

Red Cliff is a visionary epic based on the legendary battle in which a force of fifty thousand men defeated an army of nearly one million. In the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minister Cao Cao convinces his fickle Emperor the only way to unite China is to declare war on two neighbouring kingdoms.

Thus begins a brutal military campaign of unprecedented scale and the formation of an unlikely alliance. Waging several battles of strength and wit, the course of Chinese history is changed forever by the final battle at Red Cliff.
