From Ching Siu Tung, the legendary action director of DRAGON INN, THE DUEL, and the Jet Li blockbuster HERO comes this dazzling martial arts adventure starring action Goddess Michelle Yeoh. Tony Leung and Donnie Yen. When the powerful Eunuch Tsao assigns Sister Ko and Brother Sing, siblings who are also assassins, to infiltrate a group of rebels, they are caught in a web of deceit and betrayal. With jaw-dropping martial arts choreography by Ching and featuring the now-classic "Human Arrow", BUTTERFLY SWORD is a wonderfully wild kung fu thriller with amazing swordplay and innovative action sequences. In this action-packed martial arts film, an honorable, brave farmer volunteers to help defend the Ming Dynasty against a gang of dissembling eunuchs with coup d'etat on their minds. Michelle Yeoh and Tony Leung star as the brother and sister assigned to break into the revolutionaries' circle, who then find themselves embroiled in a confusing web of deception. Notably, action for the film was directed by Ching Siu Tung, known for his work in DRAGON INN and THE DUEL.

Butterfly Sword film
$16.69 Prolific director Takashi Miike (AUDITION) keeps finding new ways to test the boundaries of on-screen violence. ICHI THE KILLER is a masterful piece of filmmaking, simultaneously funny and horrific, but it's only for viewers with strong stomachs. One character, Kakihara (Japanese indie film heartthrob Tadanobu Asano), a masochistic yakuza lieutenant, has slits in his cheeks through which he blows cigarette smoke and gleefully hacks off his own tongue to apologize for his impudence. Then there's eponymous assassin (Nao Omori), a painfully shy but sadistic young voyeur who wears a leather superhero outfit to work. Manipulated by the cagey and mysterious Jijii (English translation: "Gramps," Shinya Tsukamoto), Ichi lashes out and massacres those Jijii deems bullies, and basically anyone else who upsets his frail psyche. Jijii uses the demented lad to ...

$8.45 Five men awaken in a warehouse with no way out and no recollection of how they got there, only to struggle with their suspicion of each other as they try to piece together their story from available clues. One (Greg Kinnear) has a broken nose, while another (Jeremy Sisto) is handcuffed to a pipe and slowly dying from a gunshot wound. Two (Barry Pepper and Jim Caviezel) are unhurt, while the fifth (Joe Pantoliano) is tied to a chair--which is how the group wish to keep him until they figure out why he got that way. Meanwhile, the police are tracking a sinister man in snakeskin boots (Peter Stormare) with a connection to the group, and a worried wife (Bridget Moynihan) of one of the men searches desperately for her husband. But will the men kill each other out of suspicion before finding a way out of the warehouse?
The second half of the '90s saw a spate of neo-noirs inspired by Tarantino's supercharged RESERVOIR DOGS. Christopher Nolan's MEMENTO (2000), though in obvious debt to Tarantino, was a breathtakingly new shot in the arm for the genre. Simon Brand's UNKNOWN is a brainy and verbose melding of the two. Making its low budget work in its favor, the script could easily be performed on a stage, as the locations number in the low single digits. Though many young pulp-drunk post-Tarantino directors have toyed with non-linear narratives, Matthew ...
