Our take

The most expensive Taiwanese film ever, Wei Te-sheng’s truly immersive historical epic was a major box-office hit. How could it not be? Produced by none other than John Woo, this lushly baroque drama boasts action set pieces guaranteed to get your pulse racing. Let’s kick things off with part one.
