...once said of DiMaggio, "Although he learned Italian first, Joe, now 24, speaks English without an accent, and is otherwise well adapted to most U.S. mores.

Because little information has come our way regarding Anna, coupled with the fact that there are four screenwriters credited with formulating the script (the more writers, the worse is my opinion), caution is advised before spending upwards of two hours in the theater. To see Chow Yun Fat finally in a North American dramatic role is tempting, but, like special effects, fantastic costumes and elaborate art direction are not sufficient criteria to spend upwards of five dollars on a film. Anna looks to be tepid, trite and filled with it's own self importance...
