Tokyo raiders was an enjoyable lightweight movie that had Little Tony, Ekin, Cecelia and Kelly all in one movie! How could you go wrong with that cast? Well, you could...in fact, rather easily...but only just a little...Sure, Tokyo Raiders was confusing at times, and at other times I had virtually no clue what was going on...but so what? It was fun, it had actors I love, and had tons of style...

This movie follows pretty much in that same tradition (scriptwise, stylewise, and all)--with Little Tony being the only common actor...So after seeing Tony in 2046 a few months ago, and then seeing this, you cannot help but be amazed at his range. Tony is one of the coolest, hip-est, stylish, actors on the planet. And like his Wong Kar-Wai movie roles, this is also a great vehicle to display these particular virtues of his. This is the Tony show. In fact, even the normally good Ritchie Ren was vastly overshadowed.

Shu Qi is here too! And while she's got more screen presence in this role than say, Kelly; she's no Cecelia. But there is one scene that is absolutely hilarious. She dresses up as a guy, and has a painted on beard, and then goes into a men's locker room. She has just the right moves, and it's flawlessly done! I suspect Shu Qi really has a latent physical comedy talent just waiting to come out! I really like her (who doesn't?), and hope she can shed the sex-doll image and move upward and onward to more serious roles.

Lot of laughs. Lots of very well choreographed action (although it's heavily doubled action in the shadows). And style! Check it out!
