The Promise

The Promise  is a 2005 Chinese epic fantasy film directed by Chen Kaige and is based on the Wuxia romance The Kun-lun Slave, written by Pei Hsing at the time of the Tang Dynasty.The budget was rumored to be $42M, surpassing the cost of Hero, and is yet again as with all Chinese films beautifully shot by Peter Pau.
Convoluted storyline and not the best of the recent chinese films we have seen, but its cinematography more than makes up for it short comings.
