description
Red Cliff is John Woo's modern retelling of one of the most exciting episodes in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It features the rare alliance between two of the three big states, Wu and Xu against the powerful Wei. From the battle field to court political intrigues, the film is sure to leave the audience overwhelmed.
The road to victory is hardly smooth as the two allied states need to overcome their mutual mistrust of each other (at least temporarily) and the personal rivalry between the two ingenious military strategist Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang needs to be put aside (albeit grudgingly).
The plot provides ample opportunities for John Woo to display his talents in constructing a grand stage for action. Aside from stunning effects and an engaging plot, the film is this year's summer highlight as it also spots a star studded cast consisting Tony Leung (Lust Caution) and Kaneshiro Takeshi (House of Flying Daggers).

Besides being a beautiful film on so many levels, this epic teaches us so much about the power of friendship, intention, prudence, restraint, and the good use of information. It was a great film!!!!

Fantastic!!!
Amazing movie. When I heard about the western cinema release I was excited but then realised that the film had been cut I knew I had to get the DVD. What a great film. Superb story, fantastic performances from the usual suspects and one which makes u want to see the sequel. Great stuff
