One of the best films I've seen in quite a while

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2000)

Mix "The Phantom Menace", "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", "Romeo and Juliet", and "The Chinese Connection" and you get just a HINT of what this movie is about. More than an action film, more than a martial arts flick, more than just a single love story, it is simply breathtaking. Action scenes unlike anything you have seen, gut wrenching love stories (that's right--stories), and a budget and sensibilities that eliminate the cheese factor. Wow. I want to see this movie every day for the next month or two.
