Fantasy art with a story

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2001)

Greetings again from the darkness. This film has been analyzed enough, so I'll keep my comments brief. Stunning locales, terrific acting, riveting action, deceit and love, Yo Yo Ma's heart-wrenching cello, and the finest dying scene in recent memory make this a must see. Remember it is a fairy tale fantasy of mythical proportions. It is not a documentary, so sit back and enjoy. As most of us know, Chow Yun Fat has tremendous screen presence, and this picture is no exception. My question is, when (PLEASE) will some Hollywood producer step up and allow Michelle Yeoh to become the major star she should be. My tidbit on this one involves the beautiful (young) Ziyi Zhang. She is cast with Jackie Chan in Rush Hour 2, due for release later in 2001.
