This movie is great, intense, touching and entertaining at the same time. Everyone give their best performance. Script is well written that I do a research it's orgin from India.Director manage so well to put many broken piece storyline into one. The little girl is so cute and funny at the same time.
The climax didn't do justice to the Malayalam film 'Drishyam'.Otherwise it's a very good remake.
Overall film taking is too good but unfortunately the CLIMAX made me dislike the movie... Original movie climax was the best...it made sense when he did everything for his family...but this movie climax was not at all good
The almost-universal appeal of Drishyam's plot, adapted to suit Chinese audiences, does away with the soapy-family-drama elements of the original and gets into thriller-mode from the 15th minute. While I appreciate this aspect and the little contextual tweaks that director Sam Quah incorporates into the film, Sheep Without a Shepherd poses a same-but-different set of questions regarding the crime's cover-up. More than that, the climax here is handled in the most unconvincing way (yes, it's different from that of Drishyam!). The making style and visual aesthetics are far better here, however. The performances too, are pretty good. As such, Sheep Without a Shepherd did entertain me but that ill-conceived ending takes away an extra star.
Stories and metaphors that can be applied to every social environment, but this one is in a Chinese society.
Those sheep, when they are not in danger, can let you cut their wool gently. When threatened, they resist. It's still a good type of movie. PS: the beginning may be the end, which makes me feel deeply afraid.
