Hero
This is Alien's first review that is not actually a sneak preview. "Hero" has already been released to the U.S. movie theater audience. And actually, Alien has already previewed "Hero" on a legal Mandarin DVD prior to the U.S. release. And actually, "Hero" originally released in 2002, just not here.
During the 3rd century BC, one ruler's attempt to unify warring kingdoms is threatened by 3 assassins and appears to be saved by a nameless hero. The defeat of the assassins is told and retold through flashbacks, each time accented by a distinct color, as an elaborate mystery unravels. Spoken in Mandarin with English subtitles, this film's visuals are breathtaking. The grace and fluidness of the choreographed fight scenes and the striking beauty of the Chinese landscape are highlights of the movie. Simple things like water and leaves are cleverly incorporated into the sword battles scenes.
Alien gives it 3 deadly assassins stars out of 4.
