Synopsis
The Taking of Tiger Mountain (2014) — a Hong Kong war action film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Tsui Hark. Zhang Hanyu plays spy Yang Zirong, a soldier who goes deep undercover inside a mountain bandit fortress during the final years of China's Civil War. Tony Leung Ka-fai is the warlord he needs to fool — the kind of man who smells a lie before you finish the sentence.
The mission reads simply on paper. Getting out alive is another matter. Tsui Hark shot this as full-scale spectacle: snowbound mountain vistas, hand-to-hand combat in cramped corridors, and a pursuit across frozen terrain filmed partly in 3D. The script draws on Qu Bo's 1957 novel Tracks in the Snowy Forest, a title generations of Chinese readers have grown up with.
