Movie Review

I went to the local "Steve in the City Video Store" and borrowed HERO. HERO goes something like this:

An orphan fighter (Jet Li) presents himself to an avaricious king, bearing the weapons of three assassins (Donny Yen, Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung) in exchange for a generous bounty. But after listening to the stranger's incredible stories of how he vanquished his deadly opponents, the skeptical ruler suggests an alternate version of events.

The movie has remarkable cinematography as well as a complex and interesting story. The downside, the violence is not terribly graphic and there are no gratuitous sex or nude scenes. All in all, I recommend the movie.
