| A very solid erotic/thriller with a good engaging story. The acting for one, was very impressive. Tony Leung proves time and again that he's the Pacino of Hong Kong film. This was a role unlike anything I've seen him do, and he pulled it off well.
Another surprise for me was the guy from Avenging Fist. Not sure on his name but I believe it's Lee Ho Wong or something. That is the only other movie I've seen him in, so his acting in this really impressed me.
I only have one complaint about this movie. Now I enjoy T and A as much as the next person, but it really just seemed unnecessary in this flick. I mean, think about it, did hard core sex scenes really add anything to this movie?
But overall, it was very well done. The story was put together well, the performances were award worthy, the sets and costumes looked great, and Ang Lee's direction was great as always. If you're not offended by graphic sex scenes, which I'm not, you might want to give this one a view. A well made film that deserved more recognition than it got. |
