Booo-h-ring puppet show

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2000)

The movie is excrutiatingly slow. Although the cinematography is pretty, it is difficult to spend two hours enduring still-life pictures barely connected with a lame plot. The fighting scenes are a disgrace to martial arts, unless of course one enjoys seeing fighters moving like puppets on the strings. Plot never gathered enough momentum to make me care about the protagonists and spare comic relief falls flat. It is even difficul to write a spoiler for this one, as there is nothing going on.
