| Movie Review : Sleepless Night |
| SLEEPLESS TOWN reviewed by Peter |
 Starring Takeshi Kaneshiro as Liu Kenichi, a chinese/ japanese thug in the chinese triad circle of japan. This role was perfect for Kaneshiro as he is half and half in real life. I am quite bias as I am also half/half. In any case, this was not a typical gangster shoot'em up HK flick. Instead, it is more similar to the godfather type scheming and plotting.

| The movie does contain some violence and of course sex scenes. There was a couple of "Basic Instinct Type" scenes that had some top nudity. But, it was all done in good taste. It's a little tame compare to the prono-like stuff in today's movies. The violence was not very explicit as in " A Better Tomorrow". There's really no crazy shooting frenzy types or blood gushing gross stuff. Like I mentioned before, it's more of a suspense type godfather-like gangster flick. |
 The movie ended with quite a few surprises that played out like
a regular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I hope i didn't give away too much of the movie to spoil it. Overall, I really love this movie
and have watched it four times (the 4th time just to refresh my memory for this review). Go out and rent it! |
