Breathtaking Brilliance
I saw this one night when there was nothing else on the t.v. At first it slowly sucked me in with a compelling story , characters I identified with and beautifull scenery of Saigon (or Honoi?). Once the story started in earnest it had me on the edge of my seat. Really the story is about a innocent boy being sucked into a ganster lifestyle he has no comprehension of. Think 'City of God' in Vietnam.
I only saw this the once, many years ago bit I constantly think about it and often list it in my top films.
If you like ganster films with a realistic, unhollywood, unGuy Richie, feel, set in beautiful scenery with three dimensional characters try it! -
