Powerful story of man's inhumanity to others and the sacrifice of the good. Exceptionally well filmed.

A movie about how cruel humans can be that is unfortunately based on real events. Great performances of the main cast.

Very good movie with a touching and vibrant story. A Christian Bale back to the source in a movie which remind me his first movie "Empire of the Sun". A must see!

"Flowers Of War" stars Christian Bale in one of the most underated performances of his career. The film tells the story of real events that happened during the Japanese occupation of China back in 1937. Director Yimou Zhang tells an emotional and dramatic story with great storytelling, beautiful cinematography and amazing scenery. Definately an amazing film worth checking out.
