Everything except the one thing

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2006)

*spoiler alert*!!! Wow, this IS an amazing movie to say the least. Under-rated in my opinion. I won't go on and on about the plot, since there are plenty of other people doing that. But, I will say this, this movie plot was flawless, except for Lucy Liu's part. I know it's just a movie, but give me a break, the guy sleeps with her once, not 48 hours passes and he lets her in on the whole plan. Trust doesn't come with sex, as is commonly believed. And for someone to plan throughout their entire life a vengeance on everyone and more involved in their parent's killing, and then divulge everything because of a little roll in the sack seems a complete lack of focus. It makes the lead character seem not as bright and as driven as the rest of the film would have us believe. And, actually, Lucy's role could have been done away with all together and not have it affect the film one bit. Don't get me wrong, she is a good actress and a very sexy woman. But her character just took away from the film's bite. Especially at the end. I might have believed it, if Bruce Willis had acted more of a empathetic father-like figure, but the fact that he didn't, makes Lucy's part seem all the more confusing to me at least.
