Visually, "Where A Good Man Goes" lacks the first-reel close-ups needed to connect each character with the audience. The film lacks the in-your-face close-ups needed to create a feeling of edgy intensity this director appears to be striving for.
From a distance, the viewer follows a buzz of activity. Unfortunately, most every line of English subtitling flashes on and off within the blink of an eye -- even when there is no dialog before or after. It is as if the subtitler was given a 500 second time limit for displaying subtitles but has 1800 lines of dialog. With these flashes of text, the viewer is able to perceive that something white has appeared when an actor speaks, but no one has no chance to begin reading it.
More than 10 years after the world class Wu/Yun-Fat Hong Kong masterpieces, the China's new province is still struggling to maintain any level of consistency.
