Saving Mr. Wu

Just like Police Story 2013 directed by Ding, Saving Mr. Wu is a bloated would-be high-concept work and a futile wait for the promised sharp thriller. Hopelessly waving the camera obscures the fact that there actually isn’t any dynamism or tension, but rather only a formulaic bit of bullshit that serves for the melodramatic glorification of Chinese cops as superhuman crime fighters sacrificing themselves for the good of others.

One Chinese movie star was kidnapped. She was not kidnapped because they liked her, but because they wanted some money. In addition, they do not behave towards her very well, thanks to Andy Lau's performance, this film is very believable and in this regard, it gives you what you want. It's rough, but not really stunning. (26.12.2015)
