Man Chi J.M.

3-1/2 stars. Not your usual love story. Very emotional. Not everyone can relate to the story, but it does happen in real life. Speaking from experience.

Always keeps you on the edge, thinking, wondering. Watch it after midnight, maybe 1 or 2 AM. You'll appreciate it more. P.S. The mere fact that Christian Bale dropped to a reed thin frame for his character says a lot about the movie.

I like the twist. I like slow burn films and I found this one to be very entertaining. Although the 1st quarter of the movie felt a bit too slow for me.

Loopholes in the script. Very beautiful cinematography, specially the flashback scenes. If for it's genre, a movie like "The Notebook" is a 5, this one would be a 3 in my book.

I liked the suspense and the chase. The black kid was pretty good, if you ask me.

Beautiful cinematography. Good acting job by Michelle Pfeiffer. Regarding the plot, I think those who didn't like the movie sort of missed 2 simple points that the movie tried to convey to us: #1. The fear, melancholy and uncertainty of growing old alone. More so in another country. Although her son is by her side, he has to eventually move on with his own life. #2.The fear of being in your early 20's, single, and without a budding professional career to speak of. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to these.

A mob movie which was presented like "Babel".
