5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant,
By Kung Fu Junkie (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Protégé (Limited Deluxe Edition) 2 Disc Set (DVD)
As I tell you about this movie, I'm not going to reveal a bit of detail. I watched this film without knowing a thing about what was going to unfold and I'll let you share that experience.
This film is amazing. It is both deep and accessible. Every performance is moving and real and complex. Even the bad guys in this movie aren't given the stereotypical bad guy characteristics of being brutal or careless. Every player in this piece has demons and hopes. The journey the director takes you on is eye-opening and entertaining. "Protege" is on par with, maybe even better than, "Traffic". After watching this movie, I felt the same as when I first watched "Infernal Affairs" about 4 years ago, that this is a beautiful jewel of modern HK cinema and I was glad to have discovered it before somebody from Hollywood adapts it for American audiences. (Though I really did respect and enjoy "The Departed", the movie that borrowed from "Infernal Affairs".) |
