User Reviews
This may not be a Stephen Chow masterpiece.
It is not because this is a bad movie, it is simply because Stephen Chow has set a very high standard in classic like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin soccer.
Comparing to what is available in the cinemas since beginning of the year, this movie fares well. Complicated movie like Hateful 8 may be critic's favorite, but this movie does what a movie fundamentally should do, that is to entertain its audience.
Stephen Chow prove yet again a good director needs just to able to tell his story well, to make a good movie.
His visual sense is driven, not by a need to appear artistic and confusing, but to resonate with audiences.
The result, a well made movie that is entertaining and a simple story told well by a gifted film maker.
Chow has a gift for spotting talent and using them well.
Not only he is brave in casting a newcomer to lead role.
He is able to spot the that Deng Chao (better know as the Running Man) will be perfect as a comic male lead.
He is likable, even when he is acting like a greedy spoil rich brat. He certainly oozes charisma.
Under Chow's direction, he is able to master the act of comic timing and delivery. Best scene has to be the "failed assassination scene" where the interplay between Jelly (mermaid) and Deng Chao result in a stomach ripping experience for the audience.
I used to think his wife (Sun Li) is the only credible actress in his family, after watching Deng's performance here, I am convinced he is more than a Running Man.
