Breaks its story into so many threads that none gets the time it would deserve and is a bit sappy at times (terrible, terrible music!), but hey, we're not exactly spoiled for choice for movies set in Tibet. And what a setting it is!

Calling this an action movie is stretching it a bit, even though there is some. Mostly it punctuates the slow grind of desolate steppe atmosphere this is set in. It's still a very good Chinese western of sorts where the interplay between the land and survival is explored from various perspectives.

It is very much an Eastern take on the Western. From the rugged men who are protecting the land, to the equally rugged, and beautiful it must be said, shots of said land, in a frontier of civilisation where life is harsh and the elements are cruel. And the elements are very much presented as cruel here, merciless and unbiased in the harm they can reak

An interesting setting and story, but the movie never really lets you into the heads of the characters.

"Ranks alongside Werner Herzog's Lessons of Darkness as one of the most succinct and distressing expressions of landscape in crisis." - Ed Gonzalez
