Lust, Caution
Rating = B
This film could have been shorter
and probably would have been a little more powerful. Nonetheless, it
still held my attention pretty well. Also, it would have helped me for
the director to be a little more explicit about what point he is trying
to make with this movie; I have a thought of two, but I can't be sure.
The movie did do a good job of showing a slice of China during the
Japanese occupation circa 1940 and made me want to understand the rules
of mahjong.
