Viewer's expectations

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2004)

I would like to start by saying that this film a brilliantly executed peace of art, and that reading many reviews before seeing this film had high expectation which were all fulfilled. With many people writing about the film such as the cinematography, score and stunning martial arts, I would just like to write this review for the people not knowing what to expect from this film. Being from Australia where thankfully this film has enjoyed a wide release. I think a lot of people will go see this film expecting to get a strait up action/martial arts film which well sells this film short of what it is. When viewing this film a group of young man where laughing at several stages of the film (strangely enough not at the martial arts) To these people please do not go and see this film, if you are expecting a fine peace of art please by all means see the film. It is great that many Australians will see this film whether they can appreciate it or not.
