Aroview: Dir. Zhang Yimou tackles the Nanking massacre with equal parts grim realism and stylish melodrama - befitting of a lavish wartime epic, less so the horrific war crimes committed during Japan's invasion of China. For a more serious and balanced depiction of the atrocities, see CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH.

2 stars (Good Try) Some good segments particularly early in the film when the two female groups clash but overall its uneven and too long. The Rape of Nanking is too important an event to be dramatised. ~Tubbs
