Rating: 4 stars
Summary: entertaining, well-produced
Review: You've seen a lot of US films about the Mafia (the Godfather Trilogy), or Cuban-Americans (Scarface), Chinese-American (Day of the Dragon), Jewish or Irish gangsters. If you like this genre, this is one to add to your collection. The sets and photography are first-rate, and while the story can be reset to any country, the Shanghai of old is part of the attraction of this film. Gong Li, of course, is the best reason. As the classic whore with the heart of gold, she is bitchy and scheming but comes through as compassionate and gutsy.
