Bold statement
| This films continues on from the 1st, to the 2nd term in wo sing wo Elections. Louis Ko is used by the mainland as a device to monitor and control what happens in HK. The film is very realistic, not romantic at all. It details what people in the Triad do, to keep power. The extras disc is superb, Johnnie To talks about the reason for the political statement in the Film. Also Lam Suet and Lam Ga Tung make excellent interviews. |

Johnnie To is the best!

Continuing with the same characters in the same world as his award-winning Election, Johnnie To's Election 2 is perhaps the most natural sequel in recent memory. With another triad election coming up, Simon Yam's Lok and Louis Koo's Jimmy (both of whom give terrific performances) begin vying for the position of chairman amid distractions from family, business partners, and police officers. While further dehumanizing triad figures, Johnnie To also takes more than a few swipes at mainland China along the way. Not only are these characters ruthless, heartless, and self-motivated, but they're also pawns themselves. Johnnie To is easily the most accomplished and mature director working in Hong Kong today, and Election 2 continues his focus on strong characters and culturally relevant themes. As with Election, the violence is a part of this world, and it is not pretty, but stick with it to the end and you'll be rewarded with a realistic conclusion that feels neither forced nor pandering. |

Very GOOOOOOOOOOOD
| I was very pleased with Johnny To's 2nd installment in the election series. This time around there is alot more action and suspense and less talk. The first film was basically about introducing the viewer into the wo sing society which is why there is more dialect than action, but in this movie you can expect to be on the edge of your seat because you will have no idea who will be next to get killed. This film portrays what GREED and selfishness will get you in the end. Simon Yam plays an awsome bad guy because it's so hard to read him, like they say; "its the quiet ones you must watch out for". Overall this is a great film and i gave it a 9/10. |
