Surprising, wonderful performance by Watanabe

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2003)

Ken Watanabe's performance was enough to make this film worth watching - he was focused and amazing. After seeing The Last Samurai, I believe he is one of the best actors of our time. I hope to see him in many upcoming films.
The New Zealand landscape is clearly a filmmaking hotspot once more for a reason. There isn't a place on earth that could emulate its detail and grandeur.
