Being that this film was released overseas in 2002, I've seen a dvd version before it hit the US theaters here recently. I went to see it again because I had to see it on the big screen. If you can deal with subtitles it's one of the most beautiful films I've every seen, the cinematography is breath-taking ~ extremely captivating. Even though the movie wasn't new to me, I found myself competely sucked in, mesmerized by the fight scenes & taken back by the beauty of the image. However, a friend of mine had a difficult time following the story because it is told primarily in flashback and sometimes missing what was said because of quick dialogue. I've recommended this film to all my friends, so if you're looking for something to see at the cineplex, check it out. There's even a little love story going on, so there is something for everyone provided you can read and are interested in asian cinema. **Note - there is little-to-no blood during the fight scenes in this film, so the squeamish need not be apprehensive about this film.

It is fantastic. The fighting scenes are really a kind of ballet. You will never forget the visuals.
