The Last Tycoon

I would rate it higher if it weren't politically motivated. Every Chinese movie in 2000 consistently portrays foreigners as bigots and enemies, as if they want whoever watches it to be negatively influenced by viewing today's society outside of their sphere as terrible. Not only would it create a false narrative that everyone who is not living and not Chinese is evil, but it would make them entitled when they visit abroad and view those locals as what they saw back home on tv; in this case, this movie. We've seen cases like this most in Australia and European countries. If it's working, why are there people fleeing China? How does this movie keep the local's positive perspective from comparing to the environment they live with outside of their sphere? It shows that freedom is only reserved for those at the top, and stepping out of line would endanger oneself and give the big brothers to make money out of them before they were shown mercy.

Always have loved foreign cinema I don't mind subtitles. In fact its inspiring me to learn Chinese. Loved this movie if I could I would rate it at a higher stars. I had been watching Chow Yun Fats American made movie but that left me not real satisfied so I turned to his foreign genre and I wasn't disappointed.This movie is excellent an A+. I won't spoil it. If you like action, romance, this film won't disappoint.

I have been looking forward to this movie since I first read the concept. This is an attempt to capture some of the old-school Chow Yun Fat. Directed by Wong Jing, there is high melodrama and several slow motion shootouts. It was nice to see some of my favorite Hong Kong stars, in Sammo Hung and Francis Ng, sharing the screen with CYF. Finally, I did like the young actor who portrayed CYF's character as a young man, Xiaoming Huang. I'll be looking for more from him in the future. I enjoyed the film and would recommend it to anyone, but your enjoyment value will be higher if you appreciate the CYF of the 80's and have been wanting him to return to that kind of film.

The action, the passion, the loyalty and more! Love requited and unrequited. Wow!!!This is a must watch, although I always prefer a happy ending.

This is a brilliant film ,chow yun fat at is best ,it tells the story of the lead characters past& present ,it set in 30,s china its a gangster/romance before and during wwar2,its story love ,loyalty &betrayal it as some really great actors samo hung, all the actors were brilliant, its relly life like how they filmed the war scenes ,its a really moving story,l dont want to spoil plot , l promise you will enjoy this film, its a long film you wont get bored ,it keeps your attension with the plots and twists, its brilliant film

I found this a very entertaining movie. The lead role as a young man is played by an excellent young actor and the older version of this man is played by Chow Yun-Fat. The script was very well written and the scenes and costuming enjoyable. While the story line is a little predictable, Chow pulls it off with his always superb acting and "presence". A lot of action as well as some romance.f

This is probably one of the best Mainland-Hong Kong collaborations so far. Most have been absolutely dire, Johnnie To's DRUG WARS being a recent example mainly because of the current inabilitity to merge the best of bot traditions. To my suprise, entertainment impresario Wong Jing has managed to make a film representing the best of both traditions: locations, bid budget, good acting, and a performance by Chopw Yun-fat reminiscent of his other collaborations with the director. It is ironic that Wong Jing has shown the way and not Peter Chan, Tsui Hark and others whose talents have become overwhlelmed by access to the Mainland.

this dvd was not in english you did not tell that but it was on time

Je vais commencer par vous parler du blu-ray car tous ceux qui comme moi adorent regarder les films asiatiques en Vo et bien pas de bol, il y a juste la version française. Je suis d'autant plus déçue car le film est superbe et j'aurais vraiment bien aimé le voir en vo.Ce film raconte une histoire d'amour entre Chow Yun Fat et en une femme que le destin à séparé par l'invasion des Japonais en chine exactement en 1920 à Shanghaï où le taux de criminalité est en pleine croissance. Chow Yun Fat s'est fait enrôlé dans un gang très puissant et qui à pour maitre Sammo Hung. Un film absolument remarquable et lorsque Chow Yun Fat reprend les armes on a l'impression de faire un bon en arrière et se retrouver dans "The Killer et A toute épreuve" où sa canarde à tout va pour notre simple bonheur. Un film poignant, sanglant et qui à pour destiné de déjouer les pièges des services secrets et de faire fasse à l'invasion des Japonais. Ce film est sublime et de qualité de par les acteurs et par l'histoire

J'adore Chow Yun Fat mais pas beaucoup d'action

tres bon film a conseiller pour tous

Bon produit

film tres bon on l'a vu en import de honk kong, un tres bon film bourée d'action, a acheter .
