Director : Yimou Zhang
Running Time : 96 mins

A man known simply as Nameless (Li) is summoned to the palace of feudal China’s most powerful ruler, Qin (Yen), and tells him the story of how he managed to defeat the most powerful warriors of the Six Kingdoms, but as the story progresses, Qin starts to suspect that the whole situation may have been a ploy to get Nameless close enough to him to kill him.

This wasn’t a bad movie, with an interesting story which, because told in flash back, sometimes proved a little confusing. Stylistically, this a beautiful film, and the fight scenes are amazing to watch, but the story itself is still there to keep the intellectuals engrossed from start to finish.
