- Director: Chi Leung 'Jacob' Cheung
CGiii Comment
Wow, how to kill a film before it starts...the short opening scene - even before the credits start rolling - is an absolute disaster, terrible writing, atrocious acting and a voice that would shatter glass!
Unfortunately, that voice - courtesy of a pretty but talentless Theresa Lee - features throughout...sadly, accompanied by a whole host of other talentless performances.
The direction is - at best - a mess...obviously, the director had no idea regarding the art of story-telling...
The music is wrong, the edits between the parallel stories are crude - in other words...2 hours of incompetence...
Brave in its subject matter...catastrophic in its execution.
