A. Nony Mouse Oct 21 2009 1:50 pm This is going to be a wonderful movie. Unfortunately it'll be a while before it comes to the US. I would love to trade openings with China that day. In the US we get Hachiko: A Dog's Story while China gets Bodyguards and Assassins. I have been reading Chinese history and just finished reading about time period. I would so love to see this movie!
