"The Children of Huang Shi" reviews

'Huang Shi' is a rescue epic that needs saving
The great Chow Yun-Fat, however, gives the kind of performance that turns everything inside out: He's a kind-eyed mercenary. gleeful when his explosions work, and the movie comes alive when he's around
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainmen ... ds_sa.html
A Hollywood weepie snuggled inside a humanitarian tributehttp://movies.nytimes.com/2008/05/23/movies/23huan.html?ref=arts
concoction of wartime heroism and loss seems to have been cooked in a cinematic Easy Bake Oven
http://www.cinematical.com/2008/05/22/r ... huang-shi/
The Children of Huang Shi sounds, looks, and feels like a chapter torn from a dusty history textbook

Not sure why a trailer for this four-year old indie flick suddenly popped up recently on Apple.com, but perhaps that's how long it took to snag a distribution deal?
