Having proven his considerable prowess helming small, intimate films (Juliet in Love, Bullets Over Summer), director Wilson Yip tackles this grand scale event with mixed results. On one hand, his flair for the visual aesthetic has never been better.

That's how dope he is; he doesn't even have to rehearse. He just...
...live on a farm in upstate New York, at 1,000 feet, in the foothills of the Berkshires. On the ridge above the house, coyotes yip and howl in the metaphysical cold, and the deer hunker down among the hemlocks. And the plumber, it turns out, is booked up through...
