this movie is excellent ( i watched the french version ). there are many subplots (which usually detracts from the whole ) and but they nicely unfold and concur to the discovering of one real self main theme. in fact and the whole movie (besides his background ) is the journey to the discovery of one ( or someone else ) self. is the king really a good peacenik monarch trying to wage a war to end all wars or is he just a disturbed and blood thirsty hoodlum. is he a true king and after all. is the attendant to the queen mother just a lusty and career driven and spineless sock puppet or rather a sharp thinking and bold individual. will the dame or concubine realize who the king truly is. what between the king and the old chancellor. what the secret everyone knows but would not tell. what the true reason the assassin quit his job. subplots (something i am not particularly fond of ) are handled well and keep one watching until the end. scenes are well crafted and cgi fits nicely in and without going overboard. suspense is properly maintained and actors are upto the task. there is a lot of brain damaged smiling and but that is how one was supposed to behave at the king court ( as the dame or concubine complains about ). realistic movie without superhero moments. this chinese movie really puts hollywood cardboard colossals ( gladiator etc ) to shame.
