Synopsis: Bill Skarsgård takes on the iconic role of THE CROW in this modern reimagining of the original graphic novel by James O’Barr. Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put things right.

Movie Review:

After three decades, three critically-panned sequels and a long-gestation development process which sees talents liked Luke Evans, Jason Momoa and Corin Hardy dropping out, The Crow (2024) finally sees the daylight.

For a start, this theatrical version is not a remake of the original starring Brandon Lee but more of an updated adaptation of the graphic novel. In short, it’s a new take on the James O’Barr creation.

Plotwise, the gist of the story remains unchanged. A troubled young man, Eric (Bill Skarsgård) and his girlfriend, Shelly (Brit singer FKA Twigs) are killed by the thugs hired by the devil’s servant, Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston). Eric then comes to life to seek revenge on Roeg after promising a mysterious man and his crows that he will right the wrongs.

The 1994 version is efficient, simple and gets the point across within 100 minutes. Meanwhile, Rupert Sanders’ (Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell) version took an hour or so to establish the romance between Eric and Shelly. And yet there’s little to none to show for it. Eric is portrayed as a destructive person and for reason unknown stays in a rehab facility where he met Shelly, conveniently her mother and herself apparently worked for Roeg. The 2024 Eric has less of a character than the 1994 version. He might be just an introvert thug or a musician but who really cares.

Looking fashionably beautiful and gorgeous, the entire movie is set in an unknown city perhaps somewhere in Eastern Europe. There goes a dystopian rainy Detroit where danger seems to lurk at every corner. One obvious mistake is the introduction of the devil whisperer character which is not in the original. By supplying innocent souls to the devil, his work entitles him to immortality and that’s just one of the biggest benefits of working for the devil. The treatment however is half-baked, Roeg’s antics are more grounded than the insanity acts of Top Dollar (Michael Wincott) and to think of it, the former has supernatural powers.

Lee’s Crow exhibited a wicked sense of humour, absolute martial-arts skills and comes up with witty methods to exact his revenge. Sadly for Skarsgård, his Eric is more of a fumbling dude with self-healing power despite his terrifying performance as Pennywise. With a runtime close to two hours, the fantasy flick has only two main action sequences, one involving a shootout in a car and a prolonged shootout in an opera house. The digitally enhanced shootouts and fights are ultra-bloody and gut wrenching, definitely not for the weak stomach. Overall sorry my beloved audiences, there’s no memorable pawn shop explosion or a car exploding into a river. The Crow 2024 is more of a John Wick trapped in a supernatural premise.

There’s so much to love in the original especially with Lee’s magnetic onscreen performance, Alex Proyas’ eye for visual and the 90’s alt-rock soundtrack. Honestly, it’s near impossible to find anything worth mentioning in this updated version. The reimagining fails to establish a proper exciting villain nor an emotionally affecting leading character. The Crow IP continues to be cursed after the death of Brandon Lee and it doesn’t seem to change anytime soon.

Is that gasoline I smell?

Nah, just trash.

Movie Rating:

(The themes of love and revenge remains but no way it matches the decades old original)

SYNOPSIS: A group of thieves attempts to pull off a “reverse heist” by putting the one billion dollars they’ve stolen back into the bank vault when its leader finds out that his ex-girlfriend is framed for the crime.

MOVIE REVIEW:

Released theatrically during CNY in Taiwan, Breaking and Re-entering is a heist movie that is surprisingly more entertaining and rowdy than expected given the genre has been done to death by Hollywood. But then there is writer and director Leo Wang (The 9th Precinct) and an invested cast who manages to pull everything off.

Chang Bo-chun (Chen Bo-lin) and his motley crew which consists of Master of disguise, Uncle Bin (Frederick Lee, younger bro of Christopher), tech expert Kao (Kent Tsai) and fighter, Wen Hao (JC Lin) are hired to rob the bank owned by the shady Chen Hai-jui (Wu Kang-ren). When it turned out that Chen is making use of Chang to siphon his own money and blaming it on his employee and coincidentally Chang’s ex-flame, Shu-wen (Cecilia Choi), Chang decides to pull off a “reverse-heist” in order to send Chen to jail.

All thanks to the funny rebuttals from Uncle Bin and funny action gags from the gang, Breaking and Re-entering moves at a lightning speed despite the occasional convoluted flashbacks and time line. Fret not though, Chang is here to save the day as he casually repeats the scenarios several times in his head, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes style.

Frederick Lee is easily a scene-stealer as he often infuses the dialogue with smattering of dialect like a true blue Taiwanese. To add on it, his master of disguise character is a hilarious elaborate gag reminiscing us of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible. Kent Tsai is fine as the talkative computer guy while JC Lin deserved better with his character harbouring a secret admiration of Chang. Come to think of it, it’s a comedy not a LGBT emo drama.

Chen Bo-lin and Hong Konger Choi makes a good, eye candy pair-up even if their whole angle is not the movie’s strong point. Golden Horse winner Wu Kang-ren is a hoot as he puts on a fake ABC accent and cunning, cruel display of a nepo-baby turned baddie.

Anyway let’s get back to the reverse bank heist which basically involves truckloads of money being returned to Chen’s vault. The entire plan includes obviously unforeseen consequences, some cockroaches and homemade scallion pancake with explosives. The entire plan sounds flimsy enough but again we are not here to poke at the plot holes.

On the whole, Breaking and Re-entering is sillier than the average Danny Ocean’s heists. Fortunately the breezy pacing and the enthusiastic cast delivers more hits and misses. Arguably, an unpretentious lightweight comedy that everyone will enjoy. Remember its a CNY movie after all.

Synopsis: A story about a pilot who suddenly loses his job, then unexpectedly gets rehired with a new identity.

Movie Review:

Cross dressing is a recurring theme in comedies and even serious arthouse dramas. From Tootsie to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to The Danish Girl, there’s something magical or gimmicky in watching a famous star transforming into a glamorous woman. And in this case instead of Dustin Hoffman or Eddie Redmayne, we have Cho Jung-seok (Exit, Hit-and-Run Squad) donning heavy makeup and stilettos.

A remake of the 2012 Swedish comedy, Cockpit, Cho returns to the big screen after a hiatus of five years as Han Jung-woo, a famous self-indulgent star pilot who loses his job, marriage and custody of his young son after making a sexist remark.

Failing to find a similar job in the aviation industry and desperate in need of money to pay for child support and mortgage loan, Jung-woo resorts to impersonate as a woman with the help of his YouTuber beauty content creator younger sister to enter an airline company as a female pilot. The transformation turned out to be a success and Jung-woo manages to become a co-pilot and even befriend a fellow colleague, Seul-gi (Lee Joo-myoung).

Pilot is primarily a movie that coincides with the #MeToo movement hoping to break the silence in a male-dominated industry and demonstrates how women are often talked down and verbally assaulted despite being as or more capable than their male counterparts at times. An apparent leaked video showed Jung-woo sucking up to his boss while enabling his inappropriate comments on the ladies in turn leads to his downfall.

However, the idea often gives way to the absurdity and silly antics of Jung-woo’s cross-dressing because director Kim Han-gyul and writer Jo Yoo-jin knows it’s easier and probably more effective to use comedy as a way to spread the message across. The simplicity of the story allows them to stage a few hilarious gags liked Jung-woo’s junior, Hyun-seok (Shin Seung-ho ) who somehow develops a keen interest in “her”. There’s also one or too many gags on Jung-woo’s ever changing voice and a significantly exaggerated emergency landing that turned Jung-woo into a nationwide heroine.

Cho Jung-seok is extremely likeable as the main character even though his character is stuck in his own ego initially, ignoring the presence of his mother, his wife and his son. His comic timing is genuinely impeccable and he seems born for the part of “Han Jung-mi”. It’s immense fun as well to watch Han Sun-hwa who steals the movie with her occasional wacky appearances as Jung-woo’s outright candid sister together with Oh Min-ae as their loving mother.

Despite the good intention to deliver some serious messages about gender discrimination and such, Pilot will be best remembered for Cho’s sassy performance and the cheap comical cross-dressing gags.

Movie Rating:

(Pilot’s greatest asset is Cho Jung-seok who crank up the laugh-o-meter whatever he appears on screen as Jung-mi)

SYNOPSIS: In the ultimate test of marriage, an agent-turned-househusband gets tangled in a perilous mission with his detective wife, who's clueless about his past.

MOVIE REVIEW:

You don’t really expect the usually serious actor liked Hwang Jung-min from The Point Men, Hunt, Deliver Us from Evil and The Spy Gone North to portray a “house husband” in a comedy. But that’s where the versatile actor shines in this action comedy inspired by True Lies and Mr and Mrs Smith.

Kang-moo (Hwang) is a deadly secret agent who has now shed his past to become a school bus driver and domesticated husband to a kick-ass lady cop, Mi-seon (Yum Jung-ah). When an ex-lady colleague of Kang enlist his help to investigate a conspiracy, Mi-seon suspects her husband is seeing a woman behind her back. In actual fact, they are both linked to a dangerous mission and all they have is each other to thwart a massive arms dealing.

Mission Cross is director and writer Lee Myung-hoon first feature movie and he has proven he is adept at both action and comedy. Before the movie treats us to some spectacular action sets, there is the comedy side of things. Mi-seon is the “tom-boy” gung-ho lady fighting cop who freely uses a taser on her opponents to much comedic effect. Her three loyal subordinates add to the fun by being the first to break the news of Kang’s infidelity to her. Then there is a hilarious sequence where Kang cleverly breaks into the heavily-guarded camp.

Even if it’s essentially a comedy for the first hour, Mission Cross never fails to scrimp on the action scenes. Anything you expect from a comedy spy actioner, you will find it here. There are prolonged car chases, prolonged shootout in a bunker and prolonged fight scenes. Lee truly knows how to keep both the comedy and action going.

Still, the entire conspiracy plot is exhausting and even to a point of cartoony. To avoid spoiling your viewing experience, let’s just say the main villain is more of an exaggerating cartoon bad guy than one who wishes to see the world burn. Lee definitely knows his ways to create an overall entertaining picture but it’s a little bit too much and too predictable at times.

Even if Mission Cross is a bad movie to you, it’s still better than the average ones. So just ride along with Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah, the year’s unexpected, mismatched couple in this highly-entertained action comedy.

Synopsis: A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.

Movie Review:

The year 2024 is definitely a year for the Shyamalans. M. Night’s younger daughter, Ishana just released her first full-length movie, The Watchers in June. Her elder sister, singer-songwriter Saleka makes her movie debut as a fictional pop star, Lady Raven in her daddy’s latest feature, Trap.

Unless you have been living under a rock or chose not to catch the trailer and walk straight into M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap, then you will be probably be surprised by the fact that Josh Hartnett’s character, Cooper is indeed a prolific serial killer within moments of the movie opening.

Cooper aka The Butcher works as a firefighter, has two kids, a loving wife Rachel (Alison Pill) but has the hobby of killing people in his spare time. Today, he is playing the role of a doting father, accompanying her teenage daughter, Ridley to a Lady Raven concert. However, the concert hall is swamped with cops and members of the SWAT team and they are laying a trap for the butcher with the help of FBI profiler, Dr. Josephine Grant (Hayley Mills).

Given that senior Shyamalan self-financed his projects nowadays and known for making scary movies with a twist, you expect more from Trap given the amount of creativity freedom involved. You can rest assured that the first half of the movie is rather tense and taut as we follow Cooper around the arena looking for escape routes and also carrying out distractions while at the same time dances to the music with her daughter. To be fair, it’s not just Cooper playing the doting father here apparently M. Night devoted much of the screen time to her real-life daughter as well as her character performs song after song on stage.

Knowing that every corner and exit is guarded by the police, Cooper decides oN a clever or unbelievable way to leave the concert hall. On hindsight, Trap works better in the confined location. It works more than fine in the first half since there are so many elements available for the mental Cooper to indulge in. It’s a gigantic playground for sure but Shyamalan choses to deliver a talky third act that is poorly conceived and less convincing than the earlier setup.

It’s obvious Saleka lacks the acting range to deliver her part and her father’s treatment of the script only make things worse. To talk more about the story as it unfolds will result in spoilers, still Josh Hartnett who is seeing a career revival packs the necessary energy and campiness to portray a mad man with a serious mama issue.

Many will end up comparing Trap to Shyamalan’s wildly popular Spilt. While both can be classify as psychological thrillers, Spilt is more of a masterblend of thriller and horror. Trap sadly is a middling effort that attempts to be clever. The movie is largely enjoyable as seen from the perspective of Cooper. There is a sick urge to see how Cooper escape the police’s clutches but also a desire to see him capture.

It seems evident that Shyamalan is straying away from the so-called “twist” in Trap on purpose although that particular ending shot is highly predictable. We won’t say that Trap is one of Shyamalan’s worst but not one of his best either.

Movie Rating:

(For a Night production that doesn’t involve the supernatural and a twist ending, Trap is enjoyable yet not entirely flawless)

Opening Day: 22 August 2024

Synopsis: Winter of 1971, Sokcho Airport. Pilots Tae-in (HA Jung-woo) and Gyu-sik (SUNG Dong-il) are set to fly to Gimpo. Under the guidance of flight attendant Ok-soon (CHAE Soo-bin), passengers are busy boarding. However, shortly after takeoff, a homemade bomb explodes, turning the cabin into chaos. "From now on, this plane is going to North Korea." Yong-dae (YEO Jin-goo), who intends to hijack the entire plane, takes control of the cockpit and threatens the pilots to change course. Due to the explosion, Gyu-sik loses sight in one eye, and in the chaotic cabin, Tae-in faces a life-or-death situation. They begin a desperate struggle to safely land the aircraft... The airplane hijacking incident over South Korea. Everyone on this flight is putting their lives on the line!

Movie Review:

No thanks to real life airplane disasters, especially with some taking place near our shores, this South Korean thriller can be too harrowing to watch for some audiences. The best stories are those based on real events, and what gives this movie an edge is how it dramatises the tension between North Korea and South Korea. While it isn’t the first movie (and you can bet it won’t be the last) to bring the conflict to the big screen, this production helmed by Kim Sung-han will keep you at the edge of your seat.

The movie prepares you at the beginning by telling viewers that it is based on a hijack attempt of a Korean Air F27 airliner in 1971, and some parts of the story are dramatised for cinematic experience. It then takes you back two years before the incident happened, where Tae-in (Ha Jung-woo) works in the air force. During a mission, he chose to disable a defecting aircraft and was subsequently asked to leave the force.

What’s interesting is that the story takes place during a time in history where passengers on South Korean airplanes are ill fated if they are hijacked to fly towards North Korea. The airplanes may be taken down by the South Korean air force if detected, which means the passengers will perish. If they make it to North Korea, their lives will change. Even if they are brought back to South Korea, they may be treated as communists or spies. There seems to be no good outcome either way.

Back to the movie’s plot. Our protagonist Tae-in becomes a commercial pilot and finds himself in a situation where his airplane is hijacked by Yong-dae, a young man (Yeo Jin-goo) who is forcing the plane to fly towards North Korea. When explosions go off, the security personnel is tied up, and a passenger is made to hold on to a hand grenade, you know the stakes are high.

The taut thriller has a runtime of 100 minutes, and most of the chaos happens in the cabin. You will be holding your breath as Yong-dae becomes increasingly agitated and aggressive, meaning that no one is safe on flight, not even the poor elderly woman who can't speak and looks too frail to survive such an ordeal. The movie does a great job of firing up your emotions, as the different characters in the passenger seats get their share of screen time. There is the mother who is trying to calm her son down while he holds on to the hand grenade, the businessman who is on board with his assistant, the newly wed couple, the valiant gentleman who may be a tad too rash for wanting to pin the hijacker down, and also the flight attendant (Chae Soo-bin) who moves up and down the cabin trying to maintain order.

But the characters who really get your attention are Tae-in and Yong-dae. Ha, who is known for his role as the grim reaper in the Along with the Gods movies, does a fine job portraying a hero who is put in a challenging situation where his passengers’ lives are at risk. We aren’t sure whether there is a human being as big hearted as Tae-in, but seeing him doing all he can on the big screen does give us hope in humanity.

Then there is Yong-dae, maniacally played by Yeo. Ditching his boy next door persona, the actor is believable as a lunatic who will set the plane ablaze if anything triggers him. Just as you feel that there’s no redeeming factor about this antagonist, the plot explains what drove him to hijack the plane. The flashback sequences are heartbreaking, and they further add to our intrigue for the political relationship between the two Koreas.

Movie Rating:

(Based on the hijack attempt of a Korean Air F27 airliner in 1971, this nail-biting thriller that will leave you at the edge of your seat also sheds light on the tension between the two Koreas)

Synopsis: Plenty of time to shine when you're dead. When one is born as a person, one is bestowed hope since birth. Yet as one ages, one gradually discovers that everything means jack squat—until the moment of death, which marks the beginning of one’s life as a ghost. Being a person is hard enough, but it turns out being a ghost is not easy, either. NEWBIE, as a newbie ghost, realizes to her horror that she has just 28 days until her spirit will dissipate from the world. MAKOTO, a demon agent who appears to be a scammer, approaches the Newbie with a proposition for her to join has-been demon star CATHERINE in reconstructing the legendary horror story of the Wang Lai Hotel. The Newbie learns that ghosts in the Netherworld are as occupied with work as the living: without the talent of terrorizing people, ghosts cannot continue existing in the world—life does not end after death. “But I don’t want to be forgotten!” thus becomes ghosts’ final conviction, and these ghosts about to be forgotten by the living must, amidst the challenges, find a way to “horrible” fame by scaring people. As long as you have talent in terrorization, you will be seen!

Movie Review:

Director John Hsu calls Dead Talents Society a satire on the horror genre and also a coming-of-age story. Well, he is right on both accounts. Releasing towards the end of the annual Hungry Ghost Festival, Hsu’s second full-length feature after Detention is a snazzy watch from start to end. For those viewers who avoid horrors, this is downright more of a comedy and a really meaningful one so feel free to let your hair down and give it a go.

If you think death is the answer to all your worldly worries then you are dead wrong. In Hsu’s world, the afterlife is where all the worries/excitement begins.

In order to keep your existence in the afterlife, every ghosts need to apply for a professional haunting license. Your job is to compete to be the scariest ghost or risk being disintegrate in 30 days. A rookie ghost (Gingle Wang) is taken in by a band of misfits ghouls led by has-been urban-legend queen, Catherine (Sandrinne Pinna) and has-been pop singer turned manager, Makoto (Chen Bo-lin).

Their job is to turn the rookie into a scary ghost and their next formidable task is to compete with Catherine’s ex-protege turned rival, Jessica (Eleven Yao) in a contest to prove to three paranormal investigators that there are indeed ghosts in a dilapidated onsen hotel.

Hsu has successfully pulled off a world-building move with Dead Talents Society. The movie pokes fun at how the afterlife is no different than our world. There’s a Golden Ghost Awards, a popular talkshow where guests talk and smear each other and a hilarious dig at Vogue magazine. Even the Taiwanese horror hit, The Tag-Along is not spared. Basically you need to work hard and stay relevant as a ghost to keep the scares up. Please do not stick to your routine scaring tactics liked Catherine.

The pacing and humour goes hand in hand. There’s hardly a dull moment for the entire run. Interestingly, there’s a laugh-out-loud scene where our group of misfits tried to scare the wits out of a young couple with the rookie making a gruesome entrance. The humour on the whole is part Stephen-Chowesque, part Tim Burtonesque and it certainly is a big treat to contemporary audiences who sort of misses out on the comedy essence from these two filmmakers in their heydays.

The entire cast is terrific as well. Gingle Wang is the perfect sad sack (maybe she can be the live-action version of Sadness), a young lady who tried hard to live up to this father’s wishes. Sandrinne Pinna for sure shines as the veteran ghost. And did we mentioned she is absolutely gorgeous? Chen Bo-lin is the “soul” of Dead Talents Society, charismatic, witty and a hoot whenever he appears onscreen. Despite being foremost a comedy, there’s an underlying touching element to all the various lead characters who each has his or her own sobbing story to tell before they passed.

Dead Talents Society doesn’t necessarily scream to be an award-winning title but it sure is by far the most funny, creatively written comedy of the year.

Movie Rating:

(An imaginative funny hor-medy not to be missed!)

SYNOPSIS: Mike (Mark Wahlberg), a construction worker from Jersey, is quickly thrust into the world of super spies and secret agents when his high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Halle Berry), suddenly comes back into his life and recruits him on a high-stakes U.S. intelligence mission.

MOVIE REVIEW:

Just when you think The Union is yet another star-studded spy comedy thriller along the line of Red Notice and The Gray Man. The answer is a yes and also a no.

Truth to be told, the entire premise is familiar if not predictable.

Mike McKenna (Mark Wahlberg) is an ordinary blue-collar construction worker in Jersey. The movie opens with him having a one-night stand with his seventh-grade teacher. What a loser you might think. Then his life takes a drastic turn when his high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Halle Berry) “abducts” him to London and recruits him to be a secret agent for a covert organization known as “The Union”.

Weeks ago, Roxanne’s team was annihilated on a mission in Italy. Before they can uncover the mole, they need to find the “macguffin” thus they need a nobody, Mark Wahlberg or Mike in this case to help in the case. If you can believe two weeks of training and he is allowed in field work.

As mentioned prior, The Union is formulaic with the usual double-crossing and espionage antics. Could it be Roxanne’s boss, Tom Brennan (J.K. Simmons) or her ex-hubby, Nick aka Luke Cage (Mike Colter) that is up to good? Who cares right. The entire experience is never intriguing or compelling as television director Julian Farino tries his best to keep things busy with Wahlberg and Berry first romantic pair up and acceptable stunt work littered all around.

Wahlberg and Berry is generally fine as long lost lovers. They might be in their 50’s but they still have the charisma to jointly light up the small screen with their combined star power. Simmons, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Jackie Earle Haley is mostly wasted as Roxanne’s teammates failing to establish any memorable development and punchlines.

What’s more impressive is the on-location shooting in Croatia, Italy and London consider the majority of movies nowadays are shot on soundstages. The Union in the end manages to pull off a couple of impressive action sets including lots of roof jumping, high stakes shootouts and wild car chase to make it a worthwhile watch.

Netflix’s penchant for globetrotting action-spy movies continue with The Union. We can confirm there’s not much changes to the streamer’s approach in delivering mindless actioners. Still, Wahlberg and Berry’s first team up is far more entertaining than the bunch of Seagal and Van Damme’s lazy, horrifying DTV specials.
