Hidden Blade is a stylish spy noir (and with Tony Leung, how could it not be?) that often leaves your head spinning. JacobOller's review:
The warring factions within Japan-occupied China during the Second Sino-Japanese War are perfect instruments for a complex period-set spy story. A Japanese intelligence officer’s allegiances could intersect with a Chinese collaborator working for the puppet government set up in Shanghai.
Piercing the haze, as he always does, is Tony Leung. A career of peering through cigarette smoke, of slinking down hallways and smoldering in close conversation, prepared his warm charisma to glow through even the thickest fog. The suave standby reunites with the time period and subject matter of his Ang Lee filmas Director He, who works in tense tandem with his Japanese superior Watanabe and two younger officers, the bespectacled and immediately skeevy Mr.
Though its period is a perfect environment for collaborators, faux-llaborators and straight-up rebels to stew,’s vignettes often seem like pebbles smoothed over by the river of time. There’s an eroded simplicity to it all, whether to the uncomplicated barbarism of the Japanese or the cut-and-dry interpersonal betrayal between those working for them—and it’s still hard to follow.
