It's Almost a Masterpiece
Don't Expect "Lust, Caution"...
.. or Wong Kar-Wai.
Despite the presence of Christopher Doyle ensuring that it looks great, and some good actors, there's really nothing here, in my view. The plot is a pretty cliched "poor girl tries to make good but wonders too late whether the sacrifices were worth it" variant but despite that there's little in the way of drama or erotic tension and much of the "action" is just meandering.. and then it ends. Without resolving much, as far as I could tell.
Maybe I missed some deep profundity but I suspect perhaps not. Not recommended, really. I'd rather watch "Hero" again - or "2046", or "Lust, Caution" itself.
