Hidden Man

A real man never boasts, but speaks from the heart. 100 years ago a young man, Li, who follows this advice, narrowly escapes being shot, a burning home and certain death. Unfortunately his relations are not so lucky. Adopted by an American father and raised to be a fighter and spy, Li relishes the chance to return to China and avenge the murders. It is the 1930s and the situation is made more complicated by the Japanese occupation. While Li speaks from his heart and is a good man, it is not certain - even to him - where his loyalty lies; to mission, vendetta or, upon meeting beautiful women, love. Hidden Man is fast paced, funny, creative, playful, romantic and sexy in addition to being an martial arts action film. The stunts and twists in the plot are varied and unexpected. The creative, refreshing and ingenious film makers employ decoys, historical touchstones, competing interests, biking on rooftops, prominent roles for women, grenades and other surprise weapons, medical references, throwbacks to classic action films and more. Despite showing marks of censorship (hardly showing any skin, for example) and proceeding too fast at times, Hidden Man is thrilling and fun to watch. It is the final film of a trilogy. Seen at the Toronto international film festival.

Moviecut—Hidden Man

From a fan's point of view, I think it makes sense. It reminds me of "sunny days", like those children in the courtyard watching Soviet movies. Secondly, the open air is also the location of the film. At night, the screen lights up. I watch movies and the great wall lights up in the distance. It's a wonderful experience.

Well although i personally don't like the director very much, i like how it represented Beiping (Beijing's one historical name for only a short period). Old time , old style, old Beiping, worth seeing.

I can't resist the ROC and the old Peking flavor in this film. Liao Fan's performance shows the real calibre of his acting skills.

The director want to say too much, but he don't want the audience to understand. There's too much drama on the roof and it doesn't make any sense. Some of the first passages are quite good, but the latter is pure self-liberation. Audience? It does not exist.

Social satire.perspective one.revenge of Litianran perspective two game between qinfeng and qianlong.maybe there are negative comments. but it is jiangwen 's style describe an normal history story in an unnormal way.

The personal style is strong, the performance is disastrous and the pacing is chaotic, but it's still kind of funny to watch
