I've never seen a movie like this before.
14 October 2003
Before watching this the preview for the film made me doubt that it would be any good. Uma Thurman wearing a Bruce Lee suit as a hero? I just couldn't imagine Uma Thurman being an action star I suppose. Well after watching it I've never quite seen a movie like this. The cinematography alone was worth the price of admission. This movie has very bright colors and excellent camera angles. Every scene in the movie has been burnt into my memory. Some more than others, but I know I won't forget this movie any time in the future. The fight scenes were great, I've never seen a movie so ridiculously bloody (that weren't animes). I was laughing every time I saw a limb cut off followed by a fire hose amount of blood squirting everywhere. It was like watching a live action anime. Some of the scenes were just so great like the scene where Lucy Lui has the bosses gathered around the table and she cuts the insolent one's head off. I liked all the scenes with Sonny Chiba they were great. And of course the ending battle was outstanding. I'm glad the rope jumping was kept to a minimal, it always bothered me in other movies. I don't care if some people didn't like it everyone has their own opinion.
