WARRIORS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH (2003)
PING HE
Plot
Lai Xi and Lieutenant Li are two men far from home, warriors of Japan they have for too long found themselves stranded in the outer reaches of the Gobi desert, and while both yearn to return to their homeland, fate has made these two honourable men mortal enemies. Warriors Of Heaven And Earth is a martial arts historical epic, steeped in mysticism, but though beautiful to look at and stunningly choreographed there is a simplicity to the story itself, which struggles to justify the 2 hour running time.
