Fuk sau che ji sei

It was a surprise form me. If you change the language and the names of actors / director, this is a japan movie. HK movie (i don't like the word industry) is not as it was before in past century, so this was a very pleasant (what a word for this movie) surprise.

Fuk sau che chi sei (2010) or better known as 'Revenge - A love story (2010) outside of Hong Kong is a above average revenge movie which keeps you on your toes and always keep you wondering what's gonna happen next.

I can't really go into details without spoiling it but it's told in almost a MEMENTO-esque way at parts where when you think you have got it all figured out the movie throws you in a complete different direction.

Very good acting all across the board and well made in pretty much all aspects.

It is a very brutal movie but revenge is never pretty so I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

This is a grotesque exploitation movie that tries to be more than what it is. Still it got my attention most of the way through since I wanted to see how it would end. It did a good job of making the audiences hate the ones behind the corruption. The story is about a meat bun guy falling for a pretty handicapped high school girls. But things get sour when corrupt police officers do things they shouldn't be doing. The movie has plot-holes that doesn't make sense sometimes. But it doesn't try to make a believable story but heads more towards the hard hitting elements and exploitation. It's basically a B-movie that tries to be something more but when it comes down to it. Although it tries to show a deep message the intentions of this movie is quite clear and what direction and things they wanted to show. Which is exploitation and violence. It's also not clear if the meat bun guy is doing all the things he does for the one he loves or for himself because of the circumstances in this movie. Sora Aoi is in this and her scenes might be predictable which takes away from the shock factors. But it's still comes off as hard-hitting and brutal.

I have to admit, having previously viewed a multitude of Asian thrillers, like Battle Royale and hard boiled,I really came into this not knowing what to expect. From first impressions, it looked dark, unnerving, and overall I was expect it to be a solid and entertaining thriller with a lot of cringe inducing scenes. But, when I saw it my expectations were completely surpassed. It has wonderful music,great acting (for the most part) and it has a satisfying level of grim and gory sequences that will keep most fans of this sort of thing happy. Mind you, It has little dialogue and a few plot holes that will get a few heads scratching, and also some characters, like the girl who the main character likes, for instance, simply has too little dialogue and who's acting in general was a bit wooden. But, overall, a good film.

From the opening scenes of slow-motion choke killing, and the first 20 minutes, I was expecting another gory slasher Asian movie. But than, everything goes upside down. Explained via flashbacks this movie is 100% connected with the title; Add in brackets ( ultimate ) revenge; a love story. Director Ching Po Wong beautifully draw's you into the story. There are slow-motion scenes, there is repetition and than there are difficult gory scenes to watch. But believe me this is one of those movies that if you pass the first 20-25 minutes you will drop the popcorn's, forget about the love squeeze and just watch the movie. The main character Kit ( Juno Mak ) is exceptional as a mean-clean-killing machine. But what is his motive? Why all the brutalities? One of the flashbacks starts with "ultimate revenge is in forgiveness". Obviously Kit bypassed that section in his life and he will not stop until his revenge is complete. Sola Aoi in the role of the girl for who Kit falls in love is quietly perfect. Acting, direction and the script is excellent and this is one of those movies that will be difficult to shake off, it's not a date movie and it's not a movie to watch after getting a parking ticket for example. But it is one of those hidden gems that will stay with you for a while. Check it out as soon as you can! Andreja K.
