Only my reluctance to give anything a perfect ten out of ten stops me from rating this film ten. What an absolutely awesome flick! I just saw it with my husband and I can't think when I last saw a movie I enjoyed this much. It had the whole package - style, innovation, solid (and often sympathetic) characterisation, romance, martial arts, good guys, bad guys, comedy, great cinematography, pathos... Go see it now! God, I loved this movie. I thought hard trying to come up with a single criticism and this is the best I can do - on occasions the incongruous sound effects are more distracting than effective. That's it. There's nothing else wrong with this movie!
