Consensus: The story is compelling, the acting is stellar, and the direction is fantastic. Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh provide the action of The Matrix plus the romance of Titanic.

The movie is good, sometimes very good, but I suspect it's a masterpiece only for those who haven't seen all the earlier masterpieces that equal or surpass it.

Lo and behold. An action movie that isn't about 'seize the day' or 'follow your heart' opportunism.

It's a feeling akin to seeing Peter Pan fly for the first time or watching the first light-saber duel in Star Wars.

Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon mixes In the Mood for Love's unobtainable romance with Dancer in the Dark's selfless-to-the-end philosophy.
