good film that requires patience.
|
accident is a film is more of a character driven piece it does not have any over blown moments that will blow the audience away, instead it a subtly handled affair. the audience follows Louis koo's character as he becomes obbessed by Richie ren it is this that makes the film tense we too are placed within the films paranoia - is there others who are with in the same profession and are out to kill Koo's character. the story is well constructed and leads to events carefully, but this results to a problem because they are too carefully planned out that it does slow the pace down. this makes the film hard to recommended because of the slow proceedings lacking the flamboyance of the directors previous efforts. suspenion of believe is sometimes required as it does become a bit odd at times such as the ending in which a moment of convient film making turn events around. Louis koo and Richie ren handle the respective roles admirably, especially koo who is required to carry the film. it is the films slow pacing and the lack of any major events that turned me off but in all honesty it is a really well crafted piece and kudos need to be given to the director who has focused on character rather than spectacle. |

Beautifully stylised thriller
|
After the disappoitment that was SHAMO, director Soi Cheang returns to form with the beautifully shot ACCIDENT. Reminiscent of David Mamet's HOMICIDE, this meticulously filmed thriller is the best Hong Kong thriller to come along in many a moon. Seasoned actor Louis Koo is perfect in the lead role, and Richie Jen is well-cast as the lawyer who plays a major part in proceedings. Features one of the best filmed-in-the-rain sequences of all time. |
