Tony Chiu-Wei Leung stars in this beautifully crafted period drama set in 1930s/1940s-era Shanghai.
"Hidden Blade," a stylish, nonlinear exercise in Chinese film noir set in the world of spy vs. spy subterfuge in 1930s/1940s-era Shanghai, is one of those movies where, at first, you're not exactly sure where it's going or what anyone's doing. But, boy, do they look great doing it.
Directed by Er Cheng, with an almost painterly sense of composition, and starring the always reliable Tony Chiu-Wei Leung ,"Hidden Blade" is an exquisitely made, well-acted and subtle period-piece thriller that takes place in a China being thrown into chaos by the invading Japanese, the nationalist Chinese government and the revolutionary communists.
Leung is Mr. He, an agent, interrogator and assassin, working for the Japanese government in China, who is assisted by Mr. Ye and Mr. Tang , but events may be cascading in a direction where they are not all on the same side.fight scene that proves worth the wait.
