• The scenery and Diana Rigg saves it.
  This is one of those films which offers so much, and delivers it with the scenery and fine detail. The down side being the two leading actors, Naomi Watts and Edward Norton, who dominate every scene to the detriment to all the minor parts. Diana Rigg shines through, and a lessor actor would try to steal scenes, (the two leads do enough of that). All in all, not the best film I have ever seen, and not one which I will race to watch again. The pace is rather plodding and the plot all too obvious.

• Saved by the scenery
  The plot is rather dull & predictable but the overall viewing experience is made enjoyable by the spectacular Chinese scenery & commendable performances by the lead characters.
  Not recommended however

• FILM OF THE YEAR FOR ME
  It has been so long since I actually watched a film that really touched me.

• MOVING AND SCARY AT TIMES
  The background music is wonderful and provides the ambience for this very moving film of love and revenge. Edward Norton and Naiomie Watts are perfect in this film. The chemistry is there!! Shows what can happen when someone is so in love they are entrapped by feelings (very dangerous). I would recommend this film to anyone who is a hopeless romantic..
