Engaging film

This film is about a hunt for the murderer of a triad gang leader in Hong Kong.

I thought "Rebellion" was just another low budget and senselessly violent film that the Hong Kong film industry likes to make. With very low expectations, I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of "Rebellion". It has a very good script, as it keeps suspense and engagement up high. It focuses on "who done it", instead of focusing on violence and bloodshed. Through a series of mistrust and backstabbing, suspense and thrill is maintained well throughout. Another thing I like about the movie is that it gives each of the main character a distinct personality. The actors, especially Shawn Yue and Chapman To, convincingly portray their characters. Production, including camera work, lighting and sets are also above average. Coupled with the unexpected ending twist, I can safely conclude that "Rebellion" is an engaging and above par film from Hong Kong.
