Red Cliff Part I

Outside China, pic has a secondary title that roughly means The Decisive Battle of All Time. In this 280-minute, two-part version, helmer-producer Woo and fellow producer Terence Chang have indeed crafted one of the great Chinese costume epics of all time.

– DEREK ELLEY, VARIETY

 

Set in a divided China in 208 AD, John Woo’s historical epic stars Tony Leung as a commander who must unite two warring states to fend off a huge army sent by the country’s ambitious prime minister to crush his rivals. (…) The concluding Battle of Red Cliff - with shots of 1000-strong ships all set on fire - is mind-blowing. Woo has crafted one massive movie here. If you like epics, you’ll love”Red Cliff”.
