Red Cliff
Red Cliff was a big surprise of 2008. Red Cliff has literally no weak scenes. I still remember the first time I saw Red Cliff. It is a phenomenal, tense movie from the beginning to the end. John Woo is the person who made Red Cliff such amazing movie. Artistry of actors are just magnificent, no one give bad performance. Not many "excellent" movies that have ever been created, but Red Cliff, certainly is one of them. I'm sure that Red Cliff will continue to live for next 100 years. In 2021 you have to watch Red Cliff online.
