A Chinese Tall Story tells a little-known tale about the Tang monk, Tripitaka (Nicholas Tse), before he embarks on his ardous journey to bring the sacred sutras from the west, and achieves deification after successfully negotiating Eight-One Tasks to prove his faith and resolve. As we see him for the first time, the Tang Monk is leading his three disciples into the city of Shache. No one would know that it is here that the boyishly innocent Tripitaka will meet his greatest challenge. This action adventure is inspired by the classical Chinese novel Journey To The West.

Well, Tom did right writing Joe Hisaishi's name in bold letters. Usually, films that have his music are decent. I'm also expecting a lot from Nicolas Tse. I mean he is also in Kaige's "The Promis".
