The ideal cinema trip after new year festivities should be filled with fun and merriment, so how fortunate that Ying Chi-wen’s “Everything Under Control” has arrived at the dawn of the Year of the Rabbit. Straddling the line between wacky comedy and old-fashioned adventure, it has arrived just in time for international audiences to jumpstart their cinematic year against the grain of Oscar season. This is a film that couldn’t be less concerned with awards prestige, and instead, with just using every traditional mode of blockbuster entertainment, it can to stimulate a good time: action, comedy, adventure, horror, musical, it’s all here…even if it is spread a little too thinly to form its own distinct identity.
If any Asian Movie Pulse reader has seen Fu-Hsiang Hsu’s “Treat or Trick” or Shin Jung-won’s “To Catch a Virgin Ghost”, then “Everything Under Control” might seem more than a bit familiar.
