One of the best action movies.

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2004)

And the funny thing is that is actually not just an action film. Anyone who has appreciation for the plots of lets say stylish "japanimation" will appreciate the real meaning of this piece of entertainment.
Most of the people I have talked to and disliked the movie have told me that the plot is unbelievable. Usually these people are the ones who say Lethal Weapon 4 was a FUN-ACTION movie. (*sighs*)
I mean, they have not really a developed taste for a piece of quality entertainment.
I am not trying to be a snob about it, but with all honesty I can see from where they are coming. They pay $9 bucks and expect to be entertained and usual.
When I went to see this movie, I had no idea who John Whoo was and never heard the premise of the movie before. Went with my girlfriend and her dad who was a very respected brain surgeon well into his late 50s.
He loved it.
I was in awe of how the style was so magnificently captured and made `cool' to look at. Like the last 15 minutes of `The Last of the Mohicans' is the kind of movie that raises your neck hair with adrenaline and excitation.

I am not a big fan of japanimation, but I DO can see how stylish they are in the execution of their plots.this movie strike those cords in a very beautiful way.
(if you like things like Cowboy-Bebop.this is a must)
