Strangers (I) (2018)
Poor from beginning to end
12 April 2021
The premise of the story strains credulity, but we'll let that pass. The screenplay is a disaster: every cliche ever written is employed. I found myself predicting the lines of every scene before they were spoken. The acting is generally mediocre; a shame since there are some big names. Perhaps the Hong Kong heat and humidity drained their thespian energies. The camera work was equally mediocre, again a pity since Hong Kong offers some real possibilities for creative and artistic screen shots.

The Chinese charatcers were comic book caractures and quite unconvincing.

I was looking forward to this at the outset, but was sadly disappointed. Don't waste your time with this one. It doesn't get better.

Iatros.
