• Red Cliff [2008]

  tekman 08 January 2010

  

  A follow on from the excellent Three Kingdoms movie, Red Cliff pulls the viewer into a mesmerizing Political power struggle which is superbly executed. The various battle scenes as ever are crafted to impress and are graphically detailed but deeper than this the captivating acting of all concerned and especially the Japanese Orlando Bloom look a-like tactician Takeshi Kaneshiro and the films hero the well established Tony Leung.
  
  Everything about this and the follow up part 2 movie oozes of quality. Beautifully photographed emphasizing the intricately detailed and colourful wardrobe adds to this visually stunning feast. The plot though at first glance simple, draws the viewer in to a very human thus sometimes complex story of hate, power, love and so much more. If you enjoy a film and appreciate the effort that has quite clearly been applied in producing this amazing saga, then you must watch this movie masterpiece.
