The lack of action, the fact that two obviously caucasian actors portrayed Chinese people, the poor script and long, drawn out dialogs make this episode possibly one to avoid. I had to laugh when the set where much of the episode occured was referred to by one of the characters a a beautiful place. The entired time I was watching this half-hour long nighmarishly boring show, I was praying for it to end. It's little wonder that Richard Boone left the series because he was frustrated with the poor writing among other things. Time to go take a well-deserved nap now.

People who haven't experienced the joy of loving somebody for real will agree with other reviewers who refer to the movie as slow. I, however, love the way that human compassion and love are portrayed in this work. It's wonderfully written, plotted, filmed and acted. The scenery is breath-taking, and for the right viewers, this movie will grip your attention from start to finish. No, it's not about comic-book characters, doesn't have a tremendous amount of car chase scenes, gratuitous sex and the usual garbage present in other films. Patricia Clarkson is one of those actors who carefully selects her roles and is wonderful in this film. Scott Speedman, Callum Keith Rennie, Tim Roth and Aidan Devine are all likewise well suited to their roles and portray their characters perfectly. This film just shows true human compassion in action, and portrays what real love is all about. Give it a chance. It's one of my favorite films.
