Bruce Lee lives! Well sort of... Finishing the Game (IFC)
Justin Lin's Finishing the Game opened the San Diego Asian Film Festival earlier this month to a packed house. Now non-fest audiences will have a chance to see Finishing the Game (opening Oct. 26 at Landmark's Ken Cinema ) and enjoy its sly look at Hollywood and ethnic identity.
Now before you wince and say, "I don't need a lecture on ethnic identity," take a look at the image of the Bruce Lee chorus line and understand that Justin Lin is not someone who lectures his audiences. Lin is a savvy filmmaker who has worked in both the indie world (Sundance hit Better Luck Tomorrow ) and Hollywood ( Annapolis, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift ). He knows how to wrap any themes or ideas inside highly entertaining pop packaging. This time out he treats us to an insider's look at Hollywood as he explores the legacy of Hong Kong martial arts superstar Bruce Lee.
