ICWTR: SCREEN DAILY REVIEW (USA)

Something seems to have gone terribly wrong in the making of I Come with the Rain, an undeniably unique but nearly incoherent Hong Kong-set thriller starring Josh Hartnett and a handful of Asian stars. This handsomely produced feature from Scent of Green Papaya director Tran Anh Hung looks good, but its story rapidly disintegrates after the second reel.

Cyclo, which is my fav Tran's feature, was also very violent, heavely symbolic and did not rely on dialogues or even a strong storyline. The film won the Golden Lion in Venise. What is interesting in this review is that she acknowledged the facts that Josh's acting is great and that the movie is beautifully atmospheric.
