    What a mess with this Hitchcock stuff...

    I actually expected to see a well made thriller like Hitchcock but there is no Cock Tobin in this film at all.

    The title misguides audiences who anticipated Cock Robin in this film...

    And the story is split around in the casts members. It is hard to keep track of the story if there is a story at all.

    I hope standardised story structure is needed for this local blockbuster.

    1 out of 10.

    Good script and compact movie

    The film Who Killed Cock Robin is through the classic nursery rhyme behind the implication, echoing the heart of the film plot, because the robin symbolizes the conscience, but unfortunately killed by violence, the rest of the animals are representing of different roles, each one have their own sinister motives, wishful thinking, and make a devoid of conscience behavior.

    Cinema Omnivore - Who Killed Cock Robin (2017) 7.0/10

    "ROBIN boasts a crackerjack cast, Kaiser Chuang bestirs himself strenuously as a leading material with sizable ranges, he has both panache and anguish to spare; Both Hsu Wei-Ning, who plays Wang's colleague and superior Maggie and Alice Ko impress with their Janus-faced ability of their characters, and Mason Lee, the second son of maestro Ang Lee, is the one who really takes audience aback, his A-wei is a savage beast who can chill you to the bone, but Lee does not make him camp or grotesque, A-wei's outward nondescriptness is in equal measure with his inner savagery."

    read my full review on my blog: cinema omnivore, thanks.

    The carefully crafted scripts

    The carefully crafted scripts show the tension and appeal that far exceed imagination.

    The most lacking of domestic films is this. The domestic film is just a few pieces of fresh meat thrown into the pot, with some licking pee, and began to cheat money.

    The whole film is really not a turning point, and the veins are inherited but the blocks are distinct. You have me and me in you.

    To make a metaphor, like taking a sightseeing train, passing through different scenic spots such as mountains, grasslands, forests, etc., but the forest is far from the mountains, the mountains are undulating and visible, and the end of the grassland is a forest. This is the feeling.

    At the beginning of the film, I gave a skeleton to one of the core car accident cases, and then affixed the flesh and blood through the lies of different characters. In the middle of the process, I found that this person still holds another person, and the other person is the first one. The fur was given to the flesh and finally ended on the last page with a ghost story of 15 dollars. What appears in the eyes of the audience are two completely different people, one called the case and the other called the humanity.

    The film's reflection on human nature is so simple but deep into the soul. Every one of us is constantly burying the mud of our own lies. In the end, everyone is completely unrecognizable. It is in the old saying that the surface of the dung egg is actually Everyone's bones are soaked in black by the mud.

    Think again, the most confusing in the film, all become successful people, which is consistent with reality.

    At the same time, the performance of each major character in the plot is a three-pointer, or easy, or nervous, or crazy, but every performance will make people feel that this role, at this time, this should be the case.

    If you say the shortcomings, there are also one or two slight flaws. Such as: Aji did not give a clear explanation. These are all minute and innocuous.

    Dark, gritty & disturbing

    The style is definitely gripping and well paced that you want to know what happened at the end. Well put together that one should pay close attention to get the full story but I didn't expect it to be this dark.

    The movie weaves the story of what happened 9 years ago with current day. Much of what happened lies heavily on coincidence. It is very gritty and dark. The element I wasn't prepared for is how very disturbing it is. So if you're curious about this movie, it's worth checking out but be warned that it is disturbing, can be very graphic--even though it doesn't at first appeared to be--not for the weak hearted.
