Score a double pass to this wild action comedy!
Executive produced by Doug Liman (director of Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity) and directed by bold new filmmaker Wuershan, this wild clash of comedy and action is one compellingly original and highly entertaining ride!
Chopper (Liu Xiaoye) is a boorish, mutton-chopped butcher whose dream is to buy the hand of the high-class Madame Mei (Kitty Zhang). But she already has a suitor: a savage warrior from the desert who wields a very large sword. Chopper stumbles upon a mighty weapon - a cleaver forged from the swords of the world's top martial artists - that comes with a tale about the Mute, the film's titular chef (Masanobu Ando) and his aging master who must prepare dinner for a murderous gourmand. With a titillating eight-course meal and precise knife work, the stories come crashing together in a vibrant and hilarious climax.
