You'll recall that [Hayden Christensen] is the young Canadian actor who played Anakin Skywalker in two "Star Wars" movies. His wife in "Awake" is the aforementioned [Jessica Alba] of "Dark Angel" and , "Fantastic Four" fame. His mother is Lena Olin, whose roles have ranged from Ingmar Bergman's "Efter Repetitionen" to TVs "Alias." And Terrence Howard, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Hustle & Flow," is seen as the doctor performing the heart transplant on this frightened, young billionaire.
Nonetheless, the lead actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai is a Hong King legend, an actor who received the Best Actor award at Cannes International Film Festival for his performance in 2000's "Fa Veung Nin Wa" ("In the Mood For Love"). He has been called "the Asian Clark Gable." However, you're more lik...

The vestigial cosmopolitanism of prewar Shanghai-evoked by Jewish cafés, Arab jewelers, the Western knives and forks used in ritzy restaurants, recordings of Marlene Dietrich singing Cole Porter, movie theaters exhibiting Hollywood hits-is being stifled by the occupation, just as Wang's patriotic idealism is being polluted by the sordid exigencies of the assassination plot. Even the apartment the conspirators rent as a death trap for Yee is furnished and decorated with the care they would normally bring to a stage set, and when that plot fails, their hasty dismantling of the apartment resembles the striking of a stage set, a dismantling interrupted by that all-too-real go-between whom they must kill with all-too-real violence.

It will be best known as the film for which Lee received the NC-17 rating, but its sex scenes are no more provocative or enlightening than those on HBO's Tell Me You Love Me. (In both cases, it's amazing how something so cold is expected to generate so much heat.) Set in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during the early to mid-1940s, Lust, Caution is a beautifully shot and painfully prolonged soap opera in which a Chinese actress with a patriotic theater troupe (Wang Chia-chih, played by Tang Wei) is enlisted to kill the head of the secret police (Mr. Yee, played by Tony Leung), who is collaborating with the Japanese.

I only wonder why his highly entertaining movie didn't actually move me. Did [ANG LEE]'s actors, so fluid on the surface, not have the chops - or did his mastery of his medium not permit them the privilege of nuance? The drama's climax counts on leading actress [Wei Tang]'s ability to make us wonder what her character is feeling, but nothing here is complex enough to support this turn of events. No matter, I suppose: I like Ang Lee's cinema and liked , for what it's worth. In Mandarin, with subtitles. ***
