Must watch the "GRAND - SCALE" of this epic action flick ...

"'RED CLIFF' SCALES THE HEIGHTS. It balances character, grit, spectacle and visceral action in a meaty, dramatically satisfying pie that delivers on the hype." - Variety

"A formidable prelude to an epic battle with resplendent effects and action spectacles." - The Hollywood Reporter

"Finally, Asian cinema sees the birth of a movie with the grandeur ― in both budget and inspiration ― of epic franchises like The Lord of the Rings." - The Korea Times

Synopsis: Red Cliff is a Chinese epic war film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs (208-209 AD) and events during the end of the Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China.

RED CLIFF opens as power hungry Prime Minister-turned-General Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) seeks permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission designed to crush the two troublesome warlords who stand in his way, Liu Bei (You Yong) and Sun Quan (Chang Chen). As the expedition gets underway, Cao Cao's troops rain destruction on Liu Bei's army, forcing him into retreat. Liu Bei's military strategist Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) knows that the rebels' only hope for survival is to form an alliance with rival warlord Sun Quan, and reaches out to Sun Quan's trusted advisor, war hero Zhou Yu (Tony Leung). Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao's brutal, fast-approaching army, the warlords band together to mount a heroic campaign – unrivaled in history – that changes the face of China forever. A massive hit in Asia and the most expensive Asian film production of all time, RED CLIFF is a breathtaking war epic that marks the triumphant return of John Woo.

Awards & Lists - Watch this one not for awards and ratings ... But for the visual treat of an epic action flick combined with the perfect story-telling technique and the thrill of war strategy that keeps one glued to the movie and only wanting more of it ....
