Format:DVD
I first encountered the renowned Tang Dynasty official Dí Rénjié in Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee novels. Detective Dee in the film is a slightly different character from the book but his trademark deductive analysis and his strong sense of public policy being what is best for the state and people are still there. Here he is also a much more formidable martial arts fighter. Add to this some fantastical magic and weird beasts and you have a film that cries out for modern special effects. Fortunately, it has special effects in abundance. The story is long and complex with the mystery often hidden behind internal power politics, but it is there to be solved even if I came to it late in the film. The subtitles are a little odd but the film has brio enough to overcome that. One reviewer notes he watched it more than once to get its full value, I can only echo his sage advice.

Format:Blu-ray
Very lush period martial arts/epic from the vast Chinese film industry that is pumping out so many grand flims now. For those that loved "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", beautifully filmed with a good story (although some plot inconsistencies). This version plays on North American Blu-ray players (at least on my PS3), except for special features. Title not yet available in North America until December, so pick it up on Amazon.co.uk especially fro the cheap price (even after currency conversion and shipping -no duty (at least for Canada))

Best name for a character ever. This movie was thoroughly enjoyable. Lot's of twists. I'd have preferred more martial arts trickery. Hope they make a follow-up.
