It is what it is

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2001)

Personally, I think all the elements in this movie make what this movie is in its own style! Yes, I do know people either only like the fight scene or the cinematography or merely the acting.
People tend to nip pick on here and there, but not looking at this movie as a whole! This movie is so subtle in its mood that you can watch over and over again. Sometimes art form is not just what you can see and hear, it can be how you feel. What differenciates this movie from other movies is it touches all the human senses emotionally and superficially!
It always bothers me when I read reviews like "if you like Matrix or martial art, you will like this movie", this statement is so misleading. Those reviews are written by some critics who has never been exposed to this type of pulp culture, so they pick one movie that has some similarities in their action. But boy they are so wrong! It's a ripoff of this movie if you compare it to any other movie, I love it the way it is!
