Running on Karma (2003)

What the hell is this? It's a mess from beginning to end, that's what. It’s not the quality I've come to expect from Andy Lau and Johnnie To. Hang on, it's co-directed by Ka-Fai Wai; that explains part of it.
Lau wears a prosthetic muscle suit to make him look like a body builder, but it makes him look ridiculous. Seeing him running in his naked muscle suit down a road was funny for all the wrong reasons. Bendy CGI beardy Faqir was stupid. And who the hell was slippy crawly over building man? The plot makes very little sense. The ending is a shambles. My poor eyes.

Peace Hotel (1995)

aka Woh Ping Faan Dim

Peace Hotel asks you to sympathise with a lying, cheating, thieving whore or with the empty shell of a character that Chow portrays. I found it impossible to care about either. With no emotional connection established there is no drama. With no drama there is nothing to recommend.
