Overheard 2 - 20110912

Yesterday morning, I watched Overheard 2 in Kowloon Bay MCL.

The movie theatre has been renovated some years ago. Then, still a cinema under UA, I've been there once. The impression was next to nothing. But the reformed theatre was of fine quality. The screen was big, seats soft, and aisles were wide enough to avoid accidental kicking and nuisance. I trust it would be visited more frequently.

It was not a sequel of Overheard. Other than the combination of crew and the three main actors, other elements were of no connection. The film was tense, no time for pissing was allowed. To make the storyline more complete, there could be some more touch-ups on the background of Daniel Wu. Maybe the film has already been lasted for 2 hours, and the producer may be of the thought that it was the tipping point for our concentration to collapse.

As usual, Daniel Wu successfully seduced all the ladies, whilst Lau rendered the best performance. Louis Koo faced a difficult and embarrassing dilemma. He could never beat Wu and Lau in respective senses. The ladies were quite unimportant. The elder supporting actors performed deftly. However, it was unamusing for Kong to speak foul language repeatedly. Cheap trick. And it was stupid for the singer-turn-actor Lau to feign cool. Wu was here. And even Koo was there.

All in all, the film was a good piece of entertainment.
