    ‘b420’ moves from a potentially arresting low-key beginning to a middle section that throws together predictable sub-plots, then Matthew Tang switches to a thriller for the final twenty minutes.

  • Fighting For Love

    Mar 12, 2015

    The major problem with ‘Fighting For Love’ is the fact that the leading characters are so unsympathetic that the viewer cares little about their fight to be together.

  • First Option

    Mar 13, 2015

    ‘First Option’ is definitely a high scorer on the cheese scale, but luckily it’s also loaded with some original action scenes that make it worth your while.

  • Just One Look

    Apr 2, 2015

    Amusing (though never crude) and nostalgic (though never overly sentimental), Riley Yip’s gentle ‘coming-of-age’ comedy/drama earns a major recommendation.

  • Kung Fu Mahjong

    Apr 4, 2015

    If you approach a film of this nature, with this cast, with this storyline and with this lack of imagination, there is very little sympathy you (or indeed I) should expect.

  • Love Au Zen

    Apr 14, 2015

  • Mahjong Dragon

    Apr 20, 2015

    It’s hard to think of a film that attempts to mix so many elements together, trying to please just about every potential viewer.

  • My Wife Is 18

    May 3, 2015

    The thought that Ekin Cheng would end up falling in love with her is so ludicrous that it renders the whole film frustrating to a critical extent.

  • Sea Root

    May 21, 2015

    Lau Ching-Wan is simply stunning in the role of Root, putting so much delicate charm and humility in his part that it’s impossible for the viewer not to empathise with him.

  • Stolen Love

    Jun 1, 2015

    Alan Mak’s uninvolving film lacks a real narrative hook and an empathetic romance, but most of all it lacks the needed sentiment that covers a multitude of cinematic sins.

  • The Mad Phoenix

    Apr 18, 2015

    ‘The Mad Phoenix’ has moments that offer the kind of promise that make the finished product all the more disappointing.
