Alright, well the 1996 Hong Kong crime drama "3 Gor Sau Seung Dik Ging Chat" (aka "The Log") is definitely one of the more pointless of Hong Kong movies I have sat through in a long, long time.

The storyline in the movie, as written by Bing Lo and Kin Chung Chan, made very little coherent sense, and thus it was somewhat of a struggle to sit through all 95 minutes of the movie. Yet, I managed to endure, but as the movie came to an end, I have to admit that I was left with an overwhelming sense of having wasted 95 minutes of my life on a rather pointless and incoherent storyline of a movie.

If you are a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, then at least there are some familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Michael Wong, Kent Cheng and even Stephen Fung.

I don't understand what the writers wanted to tell with this particular storyline, but it certainly wasn't a gem in the Hong Kong cinema, and director Derek Chiu had very little contents to work with.

This is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on, not even if you are a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, such as I am. The movie just simply made too little sense to be properly entertaining.

My rating of "3 Gor Sau Seung Dik Ging Chat" lands on a three out of ten stars.
