A little late to the game on this fine film, I'll throw out my 2 cents. Jet Li's Hero [2002] made its American debut in 2004. I waited on this movie to catch it on the big screen and I'm glad I did. Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung bring fine performances to enhance the action stars performance while director Zhang Yi-Mou uses action directors Tony Ching and Tung Wai to create an epic action film. This movie is well worth a DVD rental if you haven't seen it.
