CGiii Comment

Colorized, stylized, contrived guff.

Chang's first foray into film and, on the weakness of this, his last.

The intertwining stories evolve slower than a snail can crawl...by cutting out the irrelevance (all that moody stuff), the awkward scenes...it doesn't matter, it's just not good enough.
