Description

Red Cliff is a visionary epic based on the legendary battle in which a force of fifty thousand men defeated an army of nearly one million. In the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minister Cao Cao convinces his fickle Emperor the only way to unite China is to declare war on two neighbouring kingdoms. Thus begins a brutal military campaign of unprecedented scale and the formation of an unlikely alliance. Waging several battles of strength and wit, the course of Chinese history is changed forever by the final battle at Red Cliff.

Review by Peter on 15th January, 2012
"John Woo is the best !"

If you like strategic war movies this is a must. Shows how a seemly invincible army can be beaten by cunning and determination. The best part is how they collected 100,000 arrows. Brilliant !

 
 
Review by Stephen on 14th October, 2010
5 stars "A John Woo classic based on actual events"

Despite being subtitled the film more than met my expectations. It had fantastic battle scenes and expert martial arts skills from a cast of thousands. It was easy to follow the story which is based on a true record of events. Compelling viewing and left me wanting more.

5 stars "Worth it !!!"

Even with subtitles in english this was awesome, saw shorts on the mighty ape and got it, and was not dissappointed. If you like amazing fighting action in the true sense of it, tie that in with an epic in staggering proportions 50000 against 2000000 I think all the extras are there then you have half a dozen different generals all amazing fighters in there own right, that many people there's a s**t load of good fighting and a story with a twist. Watch it I've ordered another of same that impressed and I'm 50. Cheers mighty ape good work.

 
 
Review by Charles on 16th September, 2010
4 stars "A great action spectacle by John Woo!"

This movie has all the elements for a good night in: action, love, drama & clever warfare. One of the better Chinese epics, this story is well written but not excessively long. There is some clever script writing, great settings & good acting. My only criticisms are that the subtitles are small & hard to read, also some of the computer effects are not great but not so much to ruin the movie -they're just a bit obviously digitally created. No wire fighting though!
