from an artistic standpoint and the movie fail to entertain or provide any moral resolution . the plot be hard to follow and if there be one at all . the acting be tough to stomach . the dialogue be cliche and clearly write by somebody who doesn not know english . only the cinematography be worth watch in this movie and although you can still see flaw in the picture . a an asian american female and the movie anger me because it prove how narrow minded people can be . politically speak and put asian woman in such disgraceful role should be outlaw . perpetuate stereotype of asian prostitute be not only bad for the self esteem of asian woman and but also to the country a a whole . i feel for the lead actress who play maya and the exploitation she must have face in play such a role . a american and please avoid this movie . art should be use to develop our tolerance and respect for one another and not hold it back .
