Comments

Many people always argue about who would be the best fighter of martial arts films of the Jackie Chan style with his playful and fun or Jet Li, always serious and intense. As always have different kinds of movies has never been possible to compare them, at least until now, maybe.

The Lost Kingdom on the two stand side by side, in theory as allies but with an atmosphere of competition and implicância quite funny, it seems that the discussion of the fans was taken to the plot of the movie ... Even though the main character in the film does not Jet Li has sense of humor (as was to be expected lol), he is funny, even more when the other papers, "Monkey-King-with-the Bat-Magic Dragon Ball there."

Being more of a movie "Jackie Chan style," perhaps it is not possible to decide which of the two is the best, but certainly is a privilege see two masters together in a film very well done, with great effects and roadmap. This leads Keitarou the seal of quality! ,-D

Synopsis

Bob Harris, an American actor whose career is in decline is going to Japan to play a commercial for whiskey. Even trying to get the city, the number of lights around the corner and time zone do spend nights in the course. In a vicissitude of the hotel, he knows Charlotte, a beautiful and newly married couple who spends much time alone due to the work of photographer of her husband. They have just become friends and get together to learn the habits of the city that never seems to sleep, and engage sentimental.

My comments

This is a film that I liked a lot. The American actor who was with his career and marriage in decay had to cross the world to find in Japan, a new spirit to their lives. Apart from the romantic, which is not blatant (but is engaging), the film is a drama that shows very light Japanese culture. Accompanying the actors you walk by places such as hotel, restaurant, nightclub, karaoke, arcade and see how the Japanese people will behave in them.
