Review of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) by Chris C — 23 Sep 2012
Despite having a solid plot and some terrific performances from the leads, the film ultimately fails somewhat due to the direction; every shot has been carefully planned, meticulously framed and precisely shot to such an extent that it detracts from the storytelling. The carefully structured style also feels totally at odds with the chaotic and gritty storyline.
The result is an aesthetically pleasing, but 'sterile' movie.
