well..i am a big fan of any fantasy, fiction, science fiction, horror , mystery etc films all my life..the unknown is fascinating me...i have seen thousands of films of this kind..some good , some bad, some interesting, some childish, some boring, some cruel, some excellent...but i notice that the inspiration is drying up already (with the exception of ''snow piercer '' which fascinated me for some reasons)....the last years we see again and again, the same and the same scenario... a story beginning with a little mystery and ending with a big battle against the main evil character..we have seen all kind of evil so far...vampires, demons, werewoolves, ghosts, monsters, evil aliens, zombies, witches, dinosaurs, etc etc...i appreciate the effort of the producers to entertain us, but we now need a new kind of threat or fear or theme...lets say something about the matter of St John s revelation..or the matter of flat earth..or the matter of hollow earth..or the matter of several dimensions..or the matter of Cern ..or a good adaption of arthur clark s ''end of childhood''...or the matter of nephelim below the surface in hades..or a good adaptation of ''life after death'' by the book of Emmanuel Swedenborg... or a good adaptation of Enoh book of fallen angels...so many new things to handle...its time for the writers to adapt in these new challenges...no more vampires or zombies, its enough, OK! thank u for all your offering to our entertainment, but its time to go forward, the next step front.,, (i like vin diesel though)

The plot takes place in Shanghai a part of China the Japanese didn't completely take over yet during the Japanese invasion and occupation of China in 1940's. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has a scene in the beginning a very short scene and you wonder why he would want to be cast for this movie. But he gets some flashback scenes which makes his decision sort of makes sense. Anyways the plot mainly revolves around Paul Soames(John Cusack) investigating a friends death while the Chinese and the Japanese are basically having something similar to a gang war between each other in Shanghai. Mainly between the Chinese resistance and the Japanese servants to their emperor. The movie also has spy elements to it and doing espionage on the Japanese and Nazis, mostly on the Japanese. The flaw of this film is that it just doesn't have good character interactions sometimes and not very clever and sometimes not all that believable. I could tell this movie is a homage to noir and even if the topic at hand is interesting, the movie as a whole just wasn't that great. The movie moves slowly and doesn't cover as much as it should with it's run time. both actors play a role they probably wasn't proud of. Not much is accomplished during the run time of this movie. This is a decent film and a good homage to noir, but I can see why this movie didn't do so well. It just isn't for mainstream audiences and and besides the performances it just seemed like a straight to DVD film despite the large budget. Even if the film to some degree accomplished what it tries to do to some degree. I was disappointed in a way since the movie didn't go the direction I wanted it to go, which isn't anything against this film but my own wants. Mainly because almost all the screen-time is on John Cusack despite it having well known Asian actors. The second most screen-time goes to Gong Li. The biggest reason I wanted to see this movie is because it has Chow Yun-Fat and Ken Watanabe and was expecting a face off between the two different characters these actors will play in a clever manner. Which would have been cool, but that wasn't the case. And another disappointment is how these two Asian actors hardly has any screen-time, their roles are small. The main element that drives this film is the characters impulses and intentions, which will keep you guessing and until everything is put together and everything comes together is a above average manner.
