Lacked Passion

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2004)

Overall this was a good movie and I am glad to have seen it. But it just seemed to miss something. Namely passion. The 'fight' scenes were nicely choreographed and very beautiful but also very long and drawn out. They lacked a sense of urgency, I never felt that the 'hero' was in danger nor did I care.
I found myself slowly falling asleep during the fight scenes, but then waking up during the conversations. Usually it is the opposite for me! And it was subtitled! The story itself was fine, but nothing out of the ordinary.
6 of 10.
