I read the other reviews, beforehand, and based on the glowing ones I decided to see it. DON'T TRUST THE GLOWING REVIEWS! This movie was not worth wasting over an hour and a half on.
About the only good thing about the movie was the little girl. She's absolutely adorable, and she acts like an absolutely adorable 10-year old.
But, there's basically no action -- the movie moves like molasses in January (in the northern hemisphere :-) -- and the plot is just that the girl goes on vacation with her dad with whom she doesn't live (and who seems to live someplace distant from her). A thin thread of bonding runs through it, and the father is quite paternal, but I never felt a strong love connection between them -- though they can be somewhat affectionate.
With all that time to sit with my own thoughts and emotions -- I had to do something during all those slow parts -- I had a few flashbacks to touchstone times in my childhood, but they still didn't make the film worth sitting through.

I agree with all the other 1 ratings. (Wish I could have rated it a 0!)
This movie had no redeeming value. And, the only reason I sat through the whole, excruciating, 2 hours and 12 minutes of it was because I thought my friend wanted to. (Turned out she thought as little of it as I did.)
How anyone in their right mind could find anything interesting about this film is beyond me.
I'm no aficionado of martial arts, but even that didn't seem well done, to me. Years ago, I saw several Jackie Chan movies, but, as I recall, the martial arts scenes were captivating; the ones in this movie just seemed like senseless violence.

I would have given this a 10 but it wasn't quite perfect. It was, however, a glorious, emotionally wonderful, film. It reminded me of The Night of the Shooting Stars, in a way. It struck me deeply in how loving and tender it, and everyone in it, was. The pure sensuality of the Italian culture pervaded it all.
