Lust, Caution

Here's another movie I picked out for my netflix queue months (years?) ago, and I have no recollection why. These tend to be the sorts of movies that prompt Hud to say, "You sure can pick 'em." Dripping with sarcasm, of course.

I started watching this movie last week and made it through the first 20 minutes before I decided I had better things to do (like get a good night's sleep) and I've been putting off watching the rest of it ever since then. The first bit really didn't grab me, so I wasn't looking forward to the remaining 2+ hours; and as it's in Chinese with English subtitles, it's another one I couldn't watch while TCB.

After dragging my feet all week, I finally got around to watching tonight, and it's actually an intriguing story. I thought it was a pretty good flick. Hud, on the other hand, summed it up by saying, "That was a couple of hours of my life I won't get back."

By the way, this movie earned its NC-17 rating. At one point Hud mentioned he thought he'd seen pornos with less sex in them.
