Chow Yun-Fat, Seann William Scott, and Jaime King in Le Gardien du manuscrit sacré (2003)

Review by BibChr

Le Gardien du manuscrit sacré

7/10

You want fun, this is fun; you want Lawrence of Arabia, rent Lawrence of Arabia.

I'll be brief.

The movie starts with a bang, and ends with a boom, with plenty of pops and kabangs along the way.

You want a movie that's fun, with likable actors, good action, a light plot that moves right along, and more than a few genuine chuckles? This is one of those.

Watching Chow Yun Fat work is fun, whether he's giving life to a substantial, full orbed character such as in Crouching Tiger, or to a more stereotypical one as the Monk with No Name.

Don't confuse the movies, and you'll have fun. As for all the vitriolic, acidic critics... maybe some folks just need to take themselves just a tad less seriously.

Or a few tads.
