Takeshi Kaneshiro will make your heart melt, July 9, 2005
This review is from: Lost and Found (DVD)
While the movie overtly revolves around Kelly Chen's character--as she deals with lost love and a deadly illness--the movie really depends upon Takeshi Kaneshiro's absolutely heartbreaking role as the perpetually lost, immensely lonely, and utterly eccentric and quirky character "Worm," who spends his life helping people find their lost items (real and imaginary). While Kelly Chen and Kaneshiro usually have zero chemistry, this is one movie where they are perfectly cast opposite each other: Kelly Chen is withdrawn and troubled while Kaneshiro is youthful, childlike, and always willing to reach out. The movie--a quest narrative--is a wonderful gem about love, mortality, love lost, and immortality. If you are a fan of Kaneshiro, then you will recognize the Kaneshiro of "Fallen Angels" in this movie--he is the hurt boy next door, whose lips quiver with pain, but they twist quickly into a genuine smile at the sight of a ballon floating across the sky. Watch it for Kaneshiro! (Oh, and he looks hella good as usual. Duh.)

an extraordinary movie, October 31, 2006
This review is from: Lost and Found (DVD)
Excellent storytelling that brings you deep thoughts about life, and how to live it within limitations. Good script, natural performance, uplifting cinematography. Sentimental yet hilarious, it gives you a sense of serenity while watching it and long after. This is fresh air. You will watch it again and again, and share with friends.

Excellent, bittersweet romance!, October 4, 2010
This review is from: Lost and Found (DVD)
I picked up this gem from one of Amazon's marketplace sellers at a nice price. It is a wonderful film. It is a very well acted bittersweet romance which connects on many levels without too much melodrama. Without giving too much of the plot away it is a story of girl meets boy, girl loses boy and hires a new boy to find the old boy. I have now watched about eight films starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and there's not a bad one in the bunch.
