Keung gaan 2: Chai fook yau wak

It would seem from my notes that I was a little more swept away by this when originally seen on video. This probably says more about a subsequent increased exposure to Eastern movies than be a particularly pertinent comment on this film. This is, it is still hard to believe a romantic comedy, rape and revenge slasher with remarkably just about the same emphasis on each element. I didn't find the comedic moments quite so funny this time but it is amusing. What I did find this time was that the would be wooer and big boss gets just a little irritating in his on and on attempts to get together with the leading lady. There is of course irony here in that she much prefers the clean cut, smooth talking gentleman who of course turns out to be the real baddie. The middle aged mum with a 'past' and ever ready for action is great, some scenes are super sexy and some wincingly difficult (household drill in the mouth!) and now I'm wondering if I've been a little unfair with my score. Bah! How am I expected to review the un-reviewable?
