just that face alone is incredible to match onscreen no matter how pretty the girl is, and surely he has been matched with some lovely women. his features (speaking now only of his face) are strong and profound.large nose, very full lips.even the shape of his lips are profound, big eyes, thick eyebrows, strong chin, sharp cheekbones, and the dimples.can't forget the dimples. as some of you have said before, he almost looks like japanese anime (i believe one of his female co-stars said the same thing once!). On top of these ablities, there is his looks. within 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! he is by far the single most expressive actor i have ever seen. takeshi, as we all know, is unusually gifted at being able to carry within himself a variety of expressions and emotions.even within one single scene he can go from little-boy-lost, to broken-hearted, to smoldering and brooding, to anger, to sadness, to joy, etc. what i mean is that first of all he is both so profoundly photogenic and profoundly charismatic that it's difficult for any actress paired with him to match that. I think takeshi's blessing is his curse when it comes to chemistry with women on film.

i have a theory, hope ya'll don't throw any flying daggers at me, hee-hee: i also find the chemistry sorely lacking (Ziyi Zhang in HOFD is no exception).

I haven't seen this movie nor enough of his movies with love interests to make a totally fair assessment, but i have seen a few and i agree.
