HERO

2002 **** 96 mins.

This film is a visually stunning and compelling film that seems to focus more on the visuals rather than the story. Of course, the story is rather simple, but still. Of course, this would have been a five star masterpiece if it wasn't for the fact that it treads in the risky territory of being "overly artistic". It's still a great film, though, great performances, great fight sequences, great music, etc. I highly recommend it.
Rated PG-13 for stylized martial arts violence and a scene of sensuality.
