I watch this assuming it would be a dumb fun kind of movie. What I was not expecting was how badly written and acted this was. I don't know if this was the first time director who had no idea what they were doing to get the cast to do their job, but it's almost like you can see the cue cards in every scene they were so stiff. And the main character made a comment about his mother being incredibly into Christmas yet they have no decorations, the house is not that great, the inside is not really decorated. This movie makes no sense. It is hard to watch. And it doesn't even know its own audience because it goes back and forth between juvenile topics and adult language. I don't know who this movie was made for but it was definitely not made for me.
So basically the airport is the size of Hong Kong international airport which has tens of thousands of employees. But at this airport, apparently there's only a handful of employees who all know each other. With 200,000 people going through this airport in one day, the entire baggage area doesn't have a single person working there. And every time they cross paths, the characters know each other. There's absolutely nothing plausible about this scenario. There is no fun take on reality. There's no character development to make you care what actually happens to these people. Total waste of time. It is a wannabe '90s action flick that fails miserably.
In this misguided film, the narrative attempts to fuse religion with politics, presenting faith as a necessary moral compass for governance. While the cinematography is commendable, the underlying premise is problematic. The script relies heavily on emotional manipulation, glossing over the complexities of secular governance. It oversimplifies the debate, painting skeptics as antagonists to virtue, when in reality, many advocate for ethics grounded in reason and humanity. By failing to engage with the realities of a pluralistic society, the film risks alienating viewers who value rational discourse. Ultimately, it leaves one questioning its intentions rather than fostering meaningful dialogue.
