Best movie I've seen in a while!

I adore this movie. It beats all of the Hollywood movies I've seen recently. Love the script. Love the casting. Love the performances. Love the music. Especially love the ending! I can't believe it was made for only $50,000. The camera work is excellent and the picture is crystal clear. Each shot is framed beautifully. This is as good a hand-held camera work as you'll ever see. I understand no steadicam was involved and not even a tripod, which I find incredible. A true masterpiece of independent filmmaking. I've been to Vietnam, walking/riding the same streets where the film was shot, so I could really relate to it. Where there's a will, there's a way...

I thought it was really good as well, it felt very authentic and at times felt like I was watching some kind of wong-kar wai piece with the dialogue that seemed to seamlessly flow from scene to scene.

very genuine type film.

I too enjoyed this film thoroughly. It is a gem. For all those complaining about vertigo and the shaky camera- no comment. The film was well done and I watched it with my 10 year old who also enjoyed it, subtitles and all. I hope more people get to experience this film.
