brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 1999)

This movie was brilliant. I made a note not to see any previews or trailers for this movie. I know who the director was, and that was enough. THus, I felt that I truly had an opertunity to enjoy the movie for what it was worth. I cannot remember the last time that I was able to watch a movie and not know how it was going to end 5 minutes in. I thought Banderas was the hero when I saw how much effort was put into making him come. Then there was the mystery. Very well done, I was waiting to see the "Dragon" and I was almost disapointed (but I was to impressed at how it was done) to see what it really was. For those of you who thought the plot was thin, watch it again and stop hoping that it will all be nicely laid out for you a la hollywood norm. THis was a great flic and it was very refreshing to see a good movie that I did not already know how it ended. (unfortunatly, the trailer for the new Harrison Ford movie was played and I will not be wasting my time with that one, I already know how it ends!)
