Saw this at the Village East in NY. The synopsis said TAXI DRIVER IN SINGAPORE. I figure if a film mentions taxi driver, it must have at least something worth watching because that is such a bold statement.
Good:Harry Lee by Kay Tong is no Deniro but he's no slouch either. I liked how they included English subtitles, kind of like with the British films, even though its still English. I didn't know Singaporeans swear that much! Bad: Mai was a little undeveloped, and some of the talking got a little long. Plus, when I watch a film called Perth, i expect more then 5 seconds of Perth, bloody hell! Also, this isn't really bad but I found the son character an interesting subplot.
Is it just me or do you also find the son character a little gay. I heard that the government openly outlaws homosexuality although many claim to be openly gay. The director obviously was feeling some censorship, and wanted to make a more subtle statement.
For one, its like ANG LEE's THE WEDDING BANQUET. We see Darrius the son, but not the wife, implying a marriage of convenience. Again interesting stuff, but perhaps was not realized because of Singapore environment and not because of the poor direction. Not to mention, how many times does one man have to say 'I love my son'? Overall: Worth watching. Not great, but doesn't waste your time, and is entertaining with lots of nice dark humor which I loved. Warning: the ending is pretty graphic in violence.
