| Director Zhang Yimou presents "Hero" starring Jet Li as Nameless, a skilled swordsman pledged to guard an ambitious king seeking to unit China's seven warring serfdoms into a single nation. The amazing film is loaded with swordplay, fantastical color and cinematography, and a battle of thousands like no other you have seen. Also in the cast are Hong Kong action stars Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi (who also starred in "Crouching Tiger"). Although it is subtitled, the film is captivating and rivals Crouching Tiger as one of the best films of this type. It jumped off to top spot first week out of the gates. |
