The Gangster's Daughter

I happened to get a chance to sit down and watch the 2017 Taiwanese crime drama "Shaowu the Bad" (aka "The Gangster's Daughter") here in 2022. Sure, I hadn't even heard about this movie from director Mei-Juin Chen prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't know what to expect here. But with it being an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I wanted to watch it.

And as it turned out, then director Mei-Juin Chen utterly failed to deliver a movie that fell into my taste, liking or preference. The movie's storyline and narrative was just so utterly and insanely slow paced and pointless that the movie was a drag and a downright bore to sit through.

I wasn't familiar with the cast, but I will say that it wasn't exactly amateurish performances, just a shame that the actors and actresses didn't manage to have a script that offered me any type of entertainment or enjoyment.

This movie fell short of being worth the effort of sitting down to watch, and I have to admit that I gave up on it, not even halfway through. There literally was nothing that I enjoyed here. And believe me when I say that I am never returning to attempt to finish watching this movie.

My rating of this 2017 movie lands on a two out of ten stars. And that is primarily because of the production value that the movie had.
