About this movie

A bizarre murder mystery brings together the most powerful woman in China, the soon-to-be-Empress Wu Zetian (Carina Lau, 2046), and a formerly exiled detective, Dee Renjie (Andy Lau, The Warlords), at the infamous Imperial Palace. Hoping that he will solve the crime before her coronation, Wu appoints Dee Chief Judge of the Empire and implores him to combine his indisputable wisdom with his unparalleled martial arts skills to save the future of her dynasty. Director Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time In China, Seven Swords) teams with action choreographer Sammo Hung (IP Man, Kung Fu Hustle) in this heart-pounding, epic thriller inspired by the incredible true story of one of the Tang Dynasty's most celebrated officials. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (C) 2010 Huayi Brothers Media Corporation Huayi Brothers International Ltd.

Oriental movies yous to look so fake now with the new tech they've maintained there imaginary story lines with acting performances that makes you almost believe or want to believe they can actually do the out of this world flying battle scenes the actors do. If you like awesome high tech battles you'll love this.
