In 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale, led by the Prime Minister, himself. Left with no other hope for survival, the kingdoms of Xu and East Wu formed an unlikely alliance. Numerous battles of strength and wit ensued, both on land and on water, eventually culminating in the battle of Red Cliff. During the battle, two thousand ships were burned, and the course of Chinese history was changed forever.
Leave your thoughts about Red Cliff.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonAs impressively mounted as Braveheart and Gladiator, but as directed by Hong Kong action master John Woo, it easily surpasses them in terms of style and grace, action and cinematography |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThis is magnificent filmmaking, and a magnificent film. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasHard not to be impressed by the spectacular way Woo gives Western audiences an Asian history lesson that's thoroughly entertaining at the same time. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineJohn Woo applies his whizzing, sweeping visual style to Chinese history, making this film one of the most hugely entertaining battle epics in recent memory. Utterly riveting, we barely feel two and a half hours pass. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldGiles HardieLike your chinese action? The huge battles, physics defying fight sequences, the sense of history in the making? Then you'll love Red Cliff. |
| Village VoiceScott FoundasRed Cliff exudes a physical grandiosity that few movies of the past 20 years have attempted--no matter that Woo, even at his best, is still more at ease with down-and-dirty action than epic pageantry. |
| MovieWebJulian RomanDripping with lush detail, spectacular battles, and superb acting performances, Red Cliff is a nuanced approach to combat rarely seen on screen in modern times |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinJohn Woo's best work has always been mysterious to me. He makes operas - we don't need to understand the words to sense their power. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceWith the costumed epic Red Cliff, celebrated Hong Kong and Hollywood action director John Woo wanders into unaccustomed turf. |
| Toronto StarJason AndersonWhat remains is still plenty rousing, especially to moviegoers eager to see Woo regain his footing after an increasingly dismal series of outings in Hollywood. |
