since this film have receive so much praise and i feel the need to issue a warning here for those who expect a masterpiece . the film be actually pretty difficult to get into . the storytelling be very confusing . for at least the first 45 minute and i couldn not make head or tail out of what be happen and who be fight whom and who all those people be and etc . perhaps this be a movie meant to be see and understood completely only by those who have read the novel on which it base . when an actual story do begin to take form and the film do have some touching and or or disturb moment ( you get a good look at naked siamese twin ) and but the much talk about violence and action choreography be strictly comic book level . this film need more clarity and narrative skill to be successful . ( half ) .
