Too Much Artsy Slo-Mo

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2004)

The director was too full of himself in this one, choosing to focus on trying to dramatize his camera shots by extending them with slo-mo.
The whole movie would have been about a half-hour without all the surreal over-dramatic shots.
The plot was enjoyable. The fight scenes were OK....spoiled by the wire acts and slo-mo. Definitely not even close to being the movie that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was.
OK, that's my review, but IMDb is forcing me to have 10 lines in order to submit my review. I guess it is quantity they are looking for, not quality. So much for efficient communication. I guess they want superfluous verbage instead.
