Running on Karma

This is the movie that V says she has been waiting for! The first two thirds have just about everything: action, comedy, romance and horror. Thereafter it makes a sharp turn into very different territory.

I think it's a bit of a shame that the last third can be so readily compared to the final part of the Matrix trilogy, with its semi-coherent existential pseudo-deepness.

It's rather hard to focus on this kind of content and narrative structure after what has come before, but overall the experience remains very positive. Andy Lau's performance in a plastic body is enough to make you doubt the Schwarzenegger legend!
