Koma (2004)

A Cantonese language film directed by Law Chi-Leung that has some impressive camerawork in the first half, making it feel like we're inhabiting the same space as the characters do. It's shot like a horror movie a lot of the time but is actually more of a thriller about human relationships that get more complex as it goes along, due in part to the scalpels and illegal kidney removals. It was okay, but the final act was by the numbers.
