Beast Stalker - 2008 - 6/10
AKA - Ching Yan // 証人
Police bust the operation and take down the boss.
Within an hour, henchmen free the mobster and pursuit begins.
Eventually, the lawyers take charge – except the boss orders the kidnapping of the lead attorney’s child.
Violent Hong Kong actioner turns into suspenseful thriller.
This features a trope I dislike: child in danger.
In Hollywood product, danger typically evaporates. In European and Asian, worst fears confirmed.
An ugly film, where all main characters are broken souls.
