My Comments:
Uh... once again I didn't see the movie but wanted to post into on it. To be honest I'm not looking to see this movie simply because I feel it sucks. Actually I find it funny that Ngo Thanh Van plays a singer in this movie and in reality her singing sucks. This is a set up for my future post on Vietnamese movies by the way. Check out other films, Saigon Eclipse, The Rebel, Derailed Heart, Journey From The Fall and The Spirits.
