Well, the Coen Bros. are making remakes of classics, so why not someone remake their movies.
Taking the same story line and transposing it to China of old, this tale of betrayal, use and abuse is faithfully retold. The whole film is packed with fascinating visuals, with interesting set dressing, locations, great colours and wonderful compositions. The very look of the actors is excellent too. I am now interested in seeing other films by Zhang Yimou, who also directed "House of the Flying Daggers" and "The Road Home".
I know, a short review, but all I can say is watch this great film, relax and enjoy.
I guess I should mention the original was "Blood Simple", the very first Coen Bros. movie.
