This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I'm a big fan of Nam Nai Choi because of his movies The Story Of Ricky and The Seventh Curse so what the ****! Let's try Killer's Nocturne. Killer's Nocturne is a HK action/drama/gambling movie. It's about Chi Feng who witnesses his father get killed out of revenge over a gambling thing. He tries to seek revenge but gets his *** kicked so he gets out of town to only have his *** kicked further by sissies and even a kangaroo. Then he picks up a trade in gambling and then seeks revenge (again!!) against the man who killed his father.I enjoyed this one mainly because of the violence which is bloody and even a tad bit gory. It even has a few left-field moments but most notably the scene when this dude fought a kangaroo which was completely bizarre. The action is mostly brawling and even some kung fu with some gun fights. The story was good and coherent but nothing too awe- inspiring. And so forth.In Conclusion: A good Nam Nai Choi film but certainly not his best. It's worth a look if you can find it.
