My favorite film of 2000.

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2001)

I have been anticipating this movie for some time now. With all the great reviews I've read of the movie, I was afraid that my expectations had grown too high. I am glad to say that I was not disappointed in the least. Chow Yun Fat's screen presence dominated the scenes that he was in. Michelle Yeoh and Zhang ZiYi were both wonderful, in oscar-worthy performances. If the Academy Awards truly rewarded the best film of the year, "Gladiator", "Traffic", and "Erin Brockovich" would not stand a chance, and I've seen all of them.
