DOD was ranked #6 in the first week and last week it was ranked
no. 9.
Don't bother to watch. Waste of time.
The story is too boring... long winded.. fann wongs acting is
abit fake.... scott lee forever a hero and a fighter.. no doubts of
the korean... overall... this movie is a waste of time and money. i
nearly fell asleep while watching this.... given a 2nd chance...
pump in more energy and action... this movie should rename as
"Dance with a NERD"
Thought that Wong Li Lin was a better choice for the female
lead, but they choose fann wong instead. Gave her a chance and went
to watch, but guess my first choice would definitely be able to do
a better job, at least in the dancing segment. Fann wong stiff
dancing and posture makes her role as a dancing teacher in the
movie a laughing stock.. Though the chemistry between the 3 leads
are missing, but Jang Hyuk performance was up to standard. I have
seen movies of the same genre, but none has make me sleepy and doze
off like this. A word for the director: choose the best lead in
your future project and not just for looks!
At the beginning, I thought it was "just the beginning" to
always go slow for any movie....who knows after 45 mins, its even
slower...My dear buddy next to me yawned and fell asleep...!!
Fann's make-up appears really not suitable for her in the whole
show. What you would see is just the dancers turning n turning with
their arms up high..."lousy dance steps" which layman could do it
as well..no head n tail of how we should understand the story
should goes...(bad flow i would say). Think its a cheap
production!!!
This movie was incredibly boring. The pace of the movie was
slow, and the acting was bad. Jang Hyuk acted well but Fann Wong
was acting clueless as usual. And their lack of chemistry was the
ultimate bore. The worst thing is, the director had to squeeze out
some emotion from the emotionally flat scenes by amping up the
soundtrack. i kid you not. In every scene, the classical soundtrack
is just blasting away like nobody's business. Which was really
annoying. And the whole story was so contrived! To give the script
credit, it was at least something deep (holding on to one's dreams,
pursuing one's dreams, etc etc etc) but the way it was fleshed out
- it showed that the script writer had no idea, ABSOLUTELY NONE
about Singapore, about Gongfu fighting, or South Korea. I do NOT
understand how this film came to be made, really. Don't waste your
time on this movie.
What I loved most: Good Acting by Jang Hyuk
& Jason Scott Lee but not Ms Fann
What I really hated: Had enough of Fann
Wong
The movie can be rated 4 star or even 5 if Ms Fann was not lead
actress. The producers of the film should select the lead actress
carefully if they want to venture the film into foreign country.
Rather than Fann Wong there are still many pretty TCS actress to
choose from. Why keep on promoting the old chick!!
