**Summary:** **8/10:** A sensuously tense espionage thriller anchored by extraordinary performances from Tang Wei and Tony Leung; Ang Lee crafts a meticulously paced, beautifully shot meditation on desire, deception, and the dangerous space where ideology meets genuine feeling. This is a classic spy thriller, like a John le Carré novel, except instead of England and Russia, it's between Japan and occupied China during WWII. Set in Hong Kong in 1938 and Shanghai in 1942, when it was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army and ruled by the puppet government led by Wang Jingwei, the film follows…
“To kill the enemy, she would have to capture his heart... and break her own.”
During World War II, a secret agent must seduce, then assassinate an official who works for the Japanese puppet government in Shanghai. Her mission becomes clouded when she finds herself falling in love with the man she is assigned to kill.
