Running On Karma (see film details) Drama
 Andy Lau dons a muscle suit to play a muscled up monk that can see a person's karma. He meets up with Cecilia Cheung, a cop witha terminal case of karma.
On the whole, this isn't a bad film. However, it shoots itself in the foot several times and gives a depressing ending that may irritate you. This is supposed to be a drama, yet I found myself distracted and pulled away from the movie by Lau's muscle suit and the wire-fu shenanigans.
Why a muscle suit in the first place? The only reason I can think of is that it is a good gimmick to get you to watch this. It makes Lau's character distinctive, but it does not really add to the plot. |
