"What I do not give, you must never take by force."

Talk about a dysfunctional family. No one is innocent in this family feud, which is full of lies and deceit. Though it's nothing I haven't seen before, it offers an interesting, yet confusing story and bright visuals.

"Wanna die? Drink coffee! "

The story is cute, and the script mildly mean-spirited, but it's all in good fun. It's got some great one-liners. See above*. I also liked the girl's spontaneity and the guy's unwillingness to keep her happy. It's entertaining from start to finish.

Shiri (1999,  R)
Shiri 2.5 Stars
A decent political drama with a romantic side. Believe me when I say this is one bloody film. The director goes for sheer shock value in the opening scene with lots of bloodshed, violence and dismantled body parts. However, this doesn't lend anything to the rest of the story. And what about this so-called super female assassin? She's only vaguely introduced and her character remains underdeveloped, which is a shame. The rest of the film plays out like it should with the good cops chasing the bad guys but always being a step behind and then following up with a "twist" that can be seen miles away.
