Lust, Caution Reviews & Ratings

Average viewer score of 7.3/10 from 840 ratings.

8/10

**Summary:** **8/10:** A sensuously tense espionage thriller anchored by extraordinary performances from Tang Wei and Tony Leung; Ang Lee crafts a meticulously paced, beautifully shot meditation on desire, deception, and the dangerous space where ideology meets genuine feeling. This is a classic spy thriller, like a John le Carré novel, except instead of England and Russia, it's between Japan and occupied China…
