Low profile but sharp

A Zhang Yimou produced revenge story, filled with hidden tensions.

It is a surprise that this film has been skipped by many of the douban movie fans.

The film doesn't have big cast, but has a great story.

Posited in China's warlord period, the backdrop gives the film an exceptional story telling environment.

A predictable story with an unpredictable ending.

Repentance and forgiveness rule.

Definitely a recommended watch.
