Saw it, loved it.
I knew that Jodie Foster would be wonderful, but I was really looking forward to seeing ...oh, darn...what's his name?...Chow Yun Fat? Sorry, I'm terrible with names....Anyway, I was really looking forward to seeing how the king was portrayed. Yun Fat has been in several foreign films I've seen and I thought he was wonderful in them and I was so happy to see that he's finally gotten a "serious" part in an American film. (He's been in a few American films before but they were not films that could really show his acting ability, in my opinion.)
I enjoyed the movie very much and I would recommend it to everyone... but it wasn't so good I'd go see it again and again.
