Much better the 2nd time around


I rated this movie over a year ago when I first saw it. I found it very boring and gave it a 6. I think the problem was I'm a big fan of Johnny To's films, and this one starts very slow. I might have been expecting too much.

However, I just watched it again last night and I have changed my rating from 6 to 7 (almost gave it an 8). It definitely has a slow build to it, but I got a lot more out of it this time. The plot is actually very good, and there are a lot of subtleties to it that I caught this time around. The ending is outstanding.

This movie might be worth another shot, it certainly was for me.
