Why Didn't They Ask Evans? (2022)
Why did they rush the end?
I've read a fair amount of Dame Christie's excellent works, though not this particular one.
Good acting, witty dialogs, loveable characters, excellent settings and a great chemistry between the two main characters.
But the let down is this feeling that the last 40 minutes are kind of rushed out, almost like it was supposed to be a 4 episodes that they had to shorten to three. There are a couple of cuts that feel totally out of sequence, like if a few shots have been removed at the final cut.
Still enjoyable, though the end is a bit of a let down, with a few loose ends: what happened to the Dutch Man, to the fake sister and husband couple that are last seen in the sanatarium.
Hence 6 stars instead of 8.
Fuk sau (2009)
A French chef on rampage far from home - Johnny To at his best
Oh my - When Billy The Kid met Memento met Tokyo Eyes met The Limey on steroids
The only film ever in which I enjoyed watching Johnny Hallyday. Anthony Wong is just bloody amazing, as in everything I saw with him - not much I concede, according to his length impressing filmography on IMDb.
I discovered Johnny To a few years back when The Mission came out, and since then, I am trying to watch anything he did. I skipped this one when it came out, being frightened by the infamous French/Belgian 60's idol presence - I just can't stand him as a public person. I was so wrong. Even though the first Hallyday's dialogue are just plain dreadful (the hospital scene at the beginning), Johnny To managed to take control and silence him. And the miracle works out.
When you forget even about the meaning of the word, what does vengeance means ?
