Battle of the Warriors aka Battle of Wits - 5 stars out of 5 stars

This is another really fine recounting of Chinese History with a fine philosophical plot line to boot.Released in 2006 and running 133 minutes it is know by 2 different names but ether name spells outstanding.Again we see bravery,cowardliness,deceit,honor,sacrifice and hope and despair.I saw a version with english subtitles and it was a little harder to follow because of the strong plot lines,but well worth the effort.Not on quite the scale of Red Cliffs but very close indeed.As my friend told me,Chinese Dynasties usually start out well but end very badly.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below

In 370 B.C, China was separated as seven nations and several other small tribes, one of these being the city state of Liang. The nation of Zhao is led by the terrifying prime commander Xiang Yangzhong who orders his troops to launch an attack on Liang in a bid to conquer the small city. Leaping to the defense of the cowed people of Liang is a warrior who goes by the name of 'Ge Li' from the Mo-Tsu school of thought, renowned for its defensive skills, respect for simplicity and peace, and belief in universal love. He is their last hope as the terrors of Yangzhong's troops are unleashed. The future of Liang now hangs in the balance, with all their hopes pinned on the mysterious Mo-Tsu warrior Ge Li...
