Punished (2011)

Another typical HK production about how one took revenge on crime. If wouldn't because of the award-winner Anthony, this movie wouldn't be even be selected by local distributor to play in cinema.

Faster (2010)

Faster (2010)

Leave your common sense outside the cinema hall, and this movie is actually quite a reasonable one to watch. I felt like this is Jodie Foster's "The Brave One" in The Rock version.

With the poster ad cast like this, one surely won't missed this movie. Instead of Italian Job, this is American Job - typical crime robbery action movie.

From Paris With Love (2010)

From Paris With Love (2010)

New nastiest duo - Travolta + RhMeyers! I hope there'll be a franchise to this... Perhaps next is Tokyo. Surprisingly this movie was able to aired in full version without any censorship in KL So guys catch it before it's banned. *Lucky*

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Never really a fan of S.H, but the movie rendering is superb and the cinematography is excellent. The CGI is fair and cool caused it brings us back to the UK like we never seen before. However I find it's a bit rocket science for some of idea in the storyline if happens in that S.H time.

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

Wanted to go Hawaii? Watch this and think twice... Great suspense movie with scenic Hawaii places that is so deep inside where mostly not accessible. Well crafted and written yet simple. However is not typical thriller that is predictable.

Cold Prey 2 (2008)

Fritt vilt II (2008)

For those who missed part 1, it's ok. It's only a thriller without plot really. Overall 86mins of Norwegian thrilling experiece. Movie is predictable however with nice camera work. For those who watch part 1 will know what I meant by that.

Rating : 3/5

Murderer (2009)

殺人犯 (2009)

Controversial plus original, I always give high rating on them. The crime are somehow terrifying and the make up is gruesome too (for HK production). I think 2-time Golden Horse Award winner - Aaron Kwok should do more of this genre than his previous movie "C++ Detective". Rookie director Roy Chow did great on this, also not forgetting mystery-writter master To Chi-long who also written for Jay Chou's Secret (2007).

Turning Point (2009)

Laughing Gor 之变节 (2009)

Derived from TVB series "E.U 3", the character of "Laughing Gor" became too famous as such this movie is actually prequel to it. Fully HKTVB production so you might notice the film quality is somehow different than the normal HK movies -- actually have very strong TVB feel. I love how the characters inter-twined between self-belief, stand and faith. If you like "Infernal Affairs", bet you'll like this too. Don't worry you can still enjoy even without watching the original series. : )

Overheard (2009)

窃听风云 (2009)

Overall the 3-all timer from HK performed well, this storyline is rather new and unlike the typical cop-mafia HK movie. Daniel & Louis are getting better than ever. One should not miss if you like HK Infernal-affair similar storyline. One of the few rare quality HK movies recently. (special rating due to rare HK titles). Award winner Lau in in the movie, so you can give 50% trust already on the movie.

Duplicity (2009)

Duplicity (2009)

First view I felt this is something in between "The Mexican" and "Mr & Mrs Smith". Julia tried to make a return however didn't get as before and Clive didn't play too well as before like in "Derailed". I'm so irritated by the flopping scene that's not in chronological event.

Public Enemies (2009)

Public Enemies (2009)

I managed to finished 65% of show as I dozed off. History + Depression Era movie is really not my type and I should have see it coming. Not doing very well worldwide overall. Personally, nothing more spectecular than just 140mins of bank robbery done by political mafia and police gun fight in sepia and slow pace.

The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

Disappointed - sadly to say as I was expected more action from this real-event based movie. Probably not the famous collection for both lead Travolta & Washington. Some scene are actually lag and not like it is "slow-mo". Especially when train is riding high speed, it is taken in "dizzy" camera style. Go or no go for the movie, your call...

Rating : 3/5

Mulholland Falls (1996)

Mulholland Falls (1996)

This movie gives view on how LAPD deals with crime back in 50's. A not to be miss for Connelly lover. A typical political power over law crime story. This is definitely an adult movie, especially for people who work for the official, learn well from this lesson and avoid being into this kinda situation in real life. All actors actually well-acted.

Rating : 3/5

Lola rennt (1998)

Run Lola Run (1998)
