The movie is the first chapter of a two-part story centered on a battle fought in China's Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.) when the emperor of the Han Dynasty allows General Cao Cao to declare war against the rebellious southern provinces, with the intention of unifying the entire country.

Thank god that Woo left Hollywood. This is the masterpiece he was destined to make.
December 11, 2009
A formidable prelude to an epic battle with resplendent effects and action spectacles.
December 10, 2009
Woo has re-embraced his Chinese roots with brutal commitment.
June 29, 2010
The director's magnum opus.
December 10, 2009
Flaws and all, you can't watch a frame of it without feeling that it has been generations since Hollywood tackled anything on this scale.
March 25, 2010
After years of civil war, Prime Minister General Cao Cao attempts to unite the empire under the Han Dynasty by quashing two troublesome warlords.
March 12, 2010
It's like the most complicated game of Stratego ever. Still, if you used to while away Saturday afternoons watching martial arts epics on cable, you'll have a good time.
March 30, 2010
... a magnificent military epic with the scale of Lord of the Rings and the grand visual majesty of the recent wave of Chinese historical epics...

The art of war done John Woo style, Red Cliff is an entertaining and grandiose return to form by the master of action cinema.
January 22, 2010
You may have the biggest flat-screen DLP monitor in the city, but Red Cliff will never look half as spectacular as it will on the big -- and I mean really big -- screen.
December 18, 2009
The result is an awfully big and powerful movie, even in abbreviated form.
December 07, 2009
It's hard to know what we're missing from the extended cut, but this Red Cliff feels awfully complete to me.
