Disadvantage(s) of working(2) at a video store:
1. Watching movies one would not pick out
2. Forgetting the movie one just watched because you are working
3. Judging a movie poorly because one is distracted by work
I could watch this movie a dozen times. Oh wait, I have. Asian superstars Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro bring heart and commitment to the dazzling martial arts opera. Wire, CGI and physical committment to the role(s) raise this epic to levels rarely attained in American films. Their are great exceptions to this of course, Bale, Deniro, and Theron come to mind as actors willing to attack roles beyond pure thespianism and costumes. Enough about training. This DVD does not play on the company DVD player. We had to bring in a second player just to watch it. Now that is user friendly. "Ray" suffers a similar fate at the design/pressing stage. I have already mentioned the "oops" in the "Ghost In the Shell: Innocence" DVD.
Profit uber alles, apparently. First to market and all that.
See this film. A terrific love story entwined with a stunning action film and costumes nearly as cool as "Brotherhood of the Wolf".
