Sorry!

This movie's page is incomplete. I hate to admit that I'd put a page on my site only to leave it as "under construction", but it's the easiest way for me to be reminded of the reviews left to write. In this case, I know pretty much what I want to say about this movie, but I have yet to actually type it all in. This message will no longer appear when the I consider the page to be complete. That doesn't mean it won't ever change after that, but you can bet that it's less likely.


The Tension

Tom Tykwer made a stateside name for himself with 1999's high-energy Run Lola Run. His brand of action resonated with audiences who'd seen enough cinematic gunplay to last a few lifetimes. In that film, the tension drove extreme action and movement, mostly in the form of the titular running Lola. I suppose it's possible for Princess and the Warrior to be more different, but not by much. One of the commonalities, though, is the tension. This is high-octane, white-knuckle tension. Minutes of eerie quiet pass by with life and death and love on the line, and it's great.
