Couldn't believe I actually rented this.......

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2001)

Im shuffling through Blockbuster thinking to myself "What shall I waste my £3.75 on tonight". Being a big fan of Action/Sci-fi and previously renting such crap as "Red Planet" & "The 6th Day", I decided to take home a movie of a genre which I am not a fan of, namely Martial Arts/Foreign Language films. Just for a change.
After spending most of the night milling around the house trying to get myself around to sitting through two hours of subtitles and "Matrix" style fighting nonsense. I stuck "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" into the old DVD player.
How surprised was I to witness of the most involving, beautifully photographed/choreographed films I have ever seen. I Even enjoyed the outlandish fight scenes which I think mar good movies like "Matrix" & "Blade" & just about every other film with fight sequences produced since.
What a breath of fresh air. I cant say enough good words about this production.
Top Notch 9/10
