  A bad film nearly saved by Maggie Cheung
  
  Possibly Maggie Cheung's last film (excepting her minor role in 2046), which makes this worth watching for that reason alone. Having said that, and despite ... read more »

  RUBBISH
  
  This was absolute drivel - turned it off after 15 minutes. Wasn't prepared to wait and see if it got any better.
