Bathing various scenes with the visual potency that alludes to Tsui Hark and with a rousing soundtrack at his disposal, Ching Siu Tung unleashes a minor epic that is highly recommended.

Though certainly not uncomfortable to sit through, there’s without a doubt something missing that stops it firing on all cylinders.

A nutty, wondrous and at times exhilarating action adventure, ‘Mirage’ encapsulates all of the elements that generated such impetus during Hong Kong cinema’s 80s swansong.

A film that comes very highly recommended, especially to those who enjoy watching cinema that stirs the heart.
