I love this movie.  I find it's one of the best flick of the past year.  I have the DVD and I really with I knew Cantonese.  Strong movies with awesome performances.  Oh, and Jessie, what's wrong with Andy Lau.  I generally like him and I thought he gave a great performance.  He's not the best HK ever, but he's still a good actor.  He's done crap, but he's done great flicks also (ever seen Fulltime Killer?).  (If you mean his singing, though, then I agree with you...)
