Just saw the movie, I thought it was just ok, the two female leads both over acted their parts, the story was kind of all over the place, abit unrealistic.
but I'm really impressed by Ken Leungs performance, this is the first time i see him in a leading role and he can really act, he reminds me of christopher walken for some reason...
Ken Leung is a really excellent actor. Even though he has been around for years, he did not get the exposure he deserves. Now, that he has a role in Lost next season, I really think he's going to be BIG ! I hope so...he's a very talented actor.
shareI agree, although I rate the movie higher than just 'mediocre'.
Ken might not have the dazzling looks (although from an objective standpoint one certainly can't call him unattractive) or physique of some of the other Asian-American actors - but this has a silver lining.
The irony of the situation lies in how his relatively 'human' appearance and demeanor enables us viewers to relate to him, and more importantly how that allows the viewer to focus on his acting chops. In this, we're more tuned-in to his performances than ever as opposed to his impossibly good looks or shredded physique. He betrays a real sense of vulnerability in some of his scenes and of course the razor-sharp, sardonic wit he displays in his other scenes are just excellent (think: Taxi driver scene, and his witty repartee with his white male "Ronald Regan" friend).
This fact might make him one of the most promising and potentially one of the most important Asian-American actors of this generation. Just my humble opinion.
