Is this the Japanese film? If so, I hope for your sake that you're not going to sit through it. It was the most painful experience of my life, and my retinas have never forgiven me.

Its pretty good. I don't know what you're talking about. Stylish gunplay, plus big robots and kung fu, it's a living anime. Go watch Roadhouse...

I would've called it a slow, lumbering story based around unlikable and annoying characters, featuring three (from memory) painfully overdone conversations between the main guy and chick featuring identical backing music and topic. And then it refuses to end until it has outlived its welcome by a good 30 minutes... but that's just me.

Agreed Returner isn't 100% original but it's well paced with cool action scenes and a nifty surprise ending. I guess that other guy can't suspend disbelief.

P.S. I'm new

Takeshi is going to need his own page he starred in house of flying daggers and hero

Beautiful Film, yet again. Asian Cinema is gorgeous and its one of america's best imports, true other countries outside Europe bring some good celluoid(australia and new zealand had some good shit, what with priscilla, romper stomper, once were warriors, pre 1997 russell crowe and pre 1987 mel gibson etc etc), just asia keeps bring hit after hit after hit

I created a page for him but just FYI, the Hero he is in is not the same film as Hero with Jet Li.
