Hahaha that's pretty interesting and funny how he did that.

Anywho, I watched the movie and it's really interesting. I didn't like it much though because I felt the way the movie was portraying the time that passes by really unbelievably. I dunno, maybe it was just me. John Cho played a jerk.

[xkrndreamer]

it was quite interesting because they shot scenes from cypress high school.

There just wasn't a whole lot of character development from what I remember, so the whole thing left me feeling sort of numb. Like the part where John Cho is beaten to death. I didn't feel bad for Cho since he was such an assh*le and I didn't know much about him, but yet I still didn't like the other characters for beating him to death because no matter how mean he was, it was a horrible thing to do. So I just sort of sat there thinking "Okay..." I didn't care much for any of the characters and they all really annoyed me. To be fair I haven't seen it in a while and I respect it for what it was trying to do, but it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Oh, and Perry Shen is the star, not Sung Kang.

I didn't like it.

I have no words to describe how I really felt about it other than... I didn't like it.

Good movie, but really depressing. I've tried watching again b/c I respect Justin Lin's work and what he was trying to do. However, I always reach one particularly gruesome part of the film and have to turn it off. Just me. I'm kinda sensitive that way!

[L_O_V_E]
