Hidden Blade movie review: Tony Leung excels opposite Wang Yibo as a conflicted intelligence agent in Cheng Er’s stylish wartime spy thriller

• Tony Leung puts in a memorable performance as He, a morally torn intelligence leader rooting out Communists for the Japanese during the second Sino-Japanese war
• The Shanghai-set film’s award-worthy production design contributes to an engaging spy story full of back-stabbing, back-alley rendezvous, twists and revelations
