What was that? Where did the second half of the film go? My five points are lenient, as I like the first movie, the story, and the actors. I was really excited about this film and also curious to see what would become of Quynh after lying at the bottom of the sea for 500 years and dying about 4 million times. That must do something to you. But no! After 45 minutes, I was wondering when the film would finally start. It was so slow, and ultimately the story is just boring. Just as disappointing as Highlander 2 ;-). And shortly before the end, I realized that this film has no ending, and Netflix had simply ripped me off.
