I'm afraid this doesn't translate well, at least to me. It has too much of an afternoon-TV-show feel to it and many things I could see weren't sufficiently carried over through the subtitles. On paper anyone would be intrigued by its plot but it all went pear-shaped on screen and I couldn't wait for the samurai to bugger off.
Michael Bay, I stay away! Roboporno - lots of things movin about. No satisfaction. Give me Total Recall anyday. Thank heavens for Jetfire & John Turturro.
Oily sex, crooked cops & kindly whores - what's there not to like? Pretentious (especially last 10mins) but thoroughly enjoyable. I'd like to have the chance one day to let Derek Kwok know how I like his first two movies but he's gotta stop lettin the photography overtake the story.
