Review
by Kozo: |
This
Jingle Ma-produced crime thriller possesses his trademark
glossy visuals and very little else. Marooned is an
ultra-fluffy crime thriller that's so incredibly bland and
inconsequential that it makes First Love Unlimited
look like The English Patient. Andy Hui is a Macau
cop who's forced to help a gangster to save his cousin, thus
engendering all sorts of problems with the local gangsters
and law enforcement. Gigi Leung is the long-suffering girlfriend
who’s so cute and loveable that it threatens to destroy mankind.
We are the audience, drawn into a film from the director of
Sunshine Cops. An all-around snoozer, this movie could
have used a dose of anything: sex, violence, humanity, hope,
heartbreak, or even humor. Probably the most uninteresting
movie of the year, and an unfortunate move for Gigi Leung,
who has been showing true promise of late. Macau seems like
a nice place to visit, though. (Kozo 2000) |
