Dun Huang or Ton ko? Which title is it?

Anyway... I do not have a so much illustrative comment on this movie. But, what I should say is that at least I found it enjoyable.

Yes... I know. It has a terrible edition (the concept of time is completely unknown to the editor, writer and of course, director), making days look like minutes and minutes look like days (kind of what happens to Pearl Harbor, 2000).

The acting is cardboard-like, and the dubbing, unfortunately makes it even worse.

Some of the cinematography shots are worth (look at the title sequence... and thats about it).

In fact, not even the battle scenes are much to look up to. I´ve seen a lot better.

Final line: the story is o.k., but the dialogues are dull. Watch it to know a little bit of overseas movie examples (even though this ain´t the best, though).
