Rating: 2/4 -- Now who exactly are those two guys slurping noodles? Are they both doctors? Why do they matter? Full Review

A widowed father grooms his son to be a killer in a sweeping drama set in fifth-century B.C. China. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- It is handsomely done and well-acted, but it lacks real energy or purpose. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It charges out of the gate in Indiana Jones style, employing so many plot twists that you may need a scorecard. Then after an hour or so, it settles into an intimate, character-driven drama, before its low-key yet thought-provoking finale. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- With its widescreen compositions and flame-illuminated interiors, "Sacrifice" is visually entrancing. Yet the movie is not just an exercise in style. Full Review

Rating: 7 -- The master's touch is evident throughout a carefully calibrated drama that builds to a shocking tragedy. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Perhaps it's all that armor, or that even the estimable Mr. Wang seems exhausted by the film's dolorous themes, but it's tough to care about characters who spend most of their lives obsessing over the violent deaths of others.
