This would have won an OSCAR for BEST FOREIGN FILM!!!


I swear, DO NOT listen to negative ppl here, which is why I took so, so long to watch it! Can't believe I almost missed it! In the past few weeks, I started running into this film in forums w/ fantastic reviews, so I finally decided "reluctantly" to watch it! Since I began running out of options I went ahead n got this & chilled w/ low expectations.

I kid you not! Soon as it started to roll, the action kicked in! I love the way it started too and it's fast paced. No long drawn out scenes! I didn't take my eyes off the movie once. The acting was fantastic, powerful and intense and the story was a high level THRILLER! The story-line & plot was so good, they had every loose end covered. There's a lil twist at the end too. I'm not into spy films but this was kick a-- and the Chinese have been throwing out top notch films better than the U.S, Japan and everywhere else. The 2 women were amazing & had our eyes glued to the screen. I loved the way their drama & expressions sucked us into the film and I heard they were nominated & competed against each other for best actresses in the Golden Horse award for this film! This is like the 3rd film in 2 wks w/ few and bad reviews here that turned out GOOD. Must be really old slow-ppl set in their ways who commented on this films??that's all I could think of

LOL! About as likely as Saw V being nominated for best picture.
