Painted Skin (2008)

Post by hotsake »

This reminds me of the old Ronny Yu movies which is a very good thing. The movie starts off a little shakes but once the melodrama starts it gets real good real fast. Yes there is some action & fantasy in this movie but it is really a Drama/Melodrama. Wei Zhao & Kun Chen give strong performances and are really believable in a Melodrama kind of way. Xun Zhou is amazing and I will be checking out more of her films. Donnie Yen is the best part of this movie, maybe because he is a supporting character and doesn't have to shoulder the entire picture, but he seems more relaxed and able to have a lot more fun with his role. I really liked the movie and loved the end theme.
