Very Thrilling War Detective
I have really enjoyed
this excellent movie, since i love war films. This one is about a
pre-Pearl Harbor Shanghai, where Japanese, Chinese, Nazi, American
intelligence services clash, and it's common people who make history.
John Cusack is a great choice for the main role, and he delivers his
part impeccably. Being a secret agent, he is deeply sensitive and
sensible man, who wants to reveal some mysteries and he is right in the
whirlwind of a war craze. Other actors include Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li,
among others, and they all do great jobs. Japanese soldiers fight the
Chinese partisans, Americans try to find out what they think will
help... and all this is a dizzying background to a deep touching story
of love, hate, cowardice, friendship, bravery and valor. This movie is
highly recommended
