Yeah its looks like that to me. the thing is lust caution is a really boring movie because of the pacing idk if you've seen it yet but i wish i would've seen this movie in the bronx so the audience would've made it more exciting. i got know feeling of suspense as you should in a spy film also with such intense sex scenes the killing scenes were extremely lack luster. i think when shooting sex scenes you have to make it sensual you have make the audience feel aroused by watching the scene instead of being disturbed like lust caution's love scenes also on a personal note i hated seeing tony luengs ball sack they could've kept that shot to themselves.
I just thought if the sex scenes were going to be the only action in the film it should have been done better and more sensual also there was no real verbal action no feeling that she was going to get caught in the beginning you had a feeling that tony lueng knew but they didn't build on it which i wish they did. there was just little moments here there but i wish they would just built upon it. but you did feel for tang wei character how she was just basically used and abused by both lueng and her own people. the story was great but the way it was told was wrong.
