I have to admit that I am a fan of Asian cinema in general and the so-called “Eastern” movie in specific. Though “Musa” will remain my favorite genre movie, this one is pretty decent too. I do agree with another commentator that the movie switches paces after a very fascinating and fast start. I don’t think it is a bad thing generally speaking, though.While not without flaws (and story points/turns you might agree with), the story in itself is fascinating and as also pointed out by others there are quite some commentaries to todays politics. And movies are always a good medium to throw punches, especially if packed like that (playing in the past that is).
