MG, why does this man always make movies about Asian stereotypes?!
Seriously, Better Luck Tomorrow, Tokyo Drift, and now this. I mean, just because Asians aren't that big in the film industry doesn't mean that Justin Lin has to rub it in every white guy's face in Hollywood. All of his Asian actors think they're cool, but they really aren't. Nothing compared to TOSHIRO MIFUNE nor TONY LEUNG.
Even if ANG LEE did movies about Asian Americans in his early days, it wasn't really about Asians vs. America theme, but more about a greater, more complex story within Asian families living in America. Ang Lee never really fussed about the situation, and basically just did what he did best...tell good stories. Which is why he has gone on to do masterpieces like Brokeback Mountain and Sense and Sensibility.
And by the way, all this is being written by an Asian American. And I do have pride in various Asian cultures. But just seeing Justin Lin doing something like this makes us look pretty bad.
