Review of The Flowers of War (2011) by Ray B — 20 Nov 2012
A decent, colorful alternative/companion to "City of Life and Death". Bale is better in Rescue Dawn. One Chinese fighter taking out a platoon is worth watching, as is "the last battle" scenes.
The rest is melodramatic, cruel spectacle. Brilliant shattering glass and direction, but at least 30 minutes too long.
