Dead as a doornail
For all the hoohaw today's movie is a boring mess.
I do have to admit its stunning beauty.
Maybe that is it.
Whatever "it" is, it eluded me.
I have been brought up on the Hong Kong product of such things. Hungry for action.
There is not a lot of that in this movie.
That said, the landscapes and scenery are beautiful. So bask in it while you deal with the utter boredom of watching the cast walk through this dreadful plot.
I will give it a 2 out of Netflix5 because I did not succumb to the desire to FF.
I am tired of "artistic successes" at the expense of a good story. Or action. A lot of these films have no real story but at least someone does something.
And I don't need heads rolling or any of that.
The word "soporific" comes to mind.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
A real snooze.
Pretty though.
It is interesting that it as an IMDb rating of 6.5. So I am not the only one who is underwhelmed.
