And, you know, Paul’s description is dominated by style and JFT’s by theme, but they’re both accurate descriptions of the film.

Hey, no need to insult someone who thinks differently of the movie than you did.

It most definitely is not “Matrix-Style”, nor is it vaguely normal drama – it’s possible Paul was in the theatre and the movie was on the screen, but he surely did not watch it. It’s about heroes and friendship, struggles to be the best and overcoming the problems standing in your way to become what you are destined to become.

I saw this in the cinema a few years ago. As I recall, it’s a weird mixture of vaguely normal drama and outrageously over the top Matrix-style pingpong matches. I liked it.

According to Amazon, the DVD was released in the UK two years ago, so I can’t imagine why it’s taken this long to release in America.

Here’s the English-subtitled version of the trailer:
