The movie excels when it focuses on beautiful Vietnam backdrops and the discovery of that culture but it does not connect as the movie about personal journey. Henry Golding surprises and for me this is the first time he didn't feel like a weak link in a movie. Parker Sawyers is good as well but he is wasted in here for two sex scenes that are neither steamy nor impactful. The local cast is great here and the backdrops amazing. As far as the personal journey goes I do not think there is enough emotional resonance because other than discovering his heritage Kit is still the same as he was beginning of the movie.
