Hidden Blade (Wu Ming, 2023)

China Blu-ray BD-R - region all



Cloak and dagger spy thriller drama that jumps back and forth in time during WW2.
With an intricate plot and with deceptive alliances you have to be concentrated
when watching this Chinese film. Tony Leung Chiu-Wai plays the agent Mr. He
and it helps if you know a little about China during WW2 (or read the IMDB).

In September 1938 before the fall of Guangzhou He watched and survived the
Japanese bombings of the city. In 1941 Shanghai Mr. He is a Chinese Quisling
and works for the Japanese occupiers. He's a slick Secret Service agent and he
interrogates, tortures and kills prisoners.

But for which side is he really working ? With a sombre and elegant tone this
film is pretty good. One of my favourite Chinese ... OK, Taiwanese actresses
is Zhou Xun and she can be seen as Mrs. Chen.

Film presented in widescreen with mandarin audio DD 5.1 and english subs
