Highly offended

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2005)

As an Asian, I found this movie to be highly offensive as Asians were the ONLY minority to not be represented in both a good light and a bad light. Asians are ONLY represented in a bad light in this movie. The take away from this movie is that Asians are: 1) money grubbing, 2) human traffickers, 3) arrogant bigots. Not to say other ethnic groups aren't portrayed in a bad light (the bad cop, the car thieves, the locksmith) but each ethnic group is also then portrayed in a good/redeeming light except for the Asians. the one instance where an attempt was made, still made Asians look like all they cared about was money (hospital scene at the end when the husband, battered and bruised lying in the hospital bed after being run over by his stolen van, tells his wife to hurry and cash the check in the pocket of his clothes.
