Review on the movie "Murderer"

The story was pretty much the same as the Orpan screening last week in the sense that people suffer a certain medical condition which makes them look real young despite being very old..this movie certainly generated alot of laughter as there was quite a number of funny parts and they were also parts where we had blood spilling out,rats wandering around and even dead bodies..

This is the opening scene of Murderer: a bloodied man fall 7 stories onto the floor, gets up only to fall back down because leg snaps in half. Two minutes in and you already know this is going to be a dark movie.

And a dark movie it is. Aaron Kwok's Ling is sickly intense in his role as a near psychotic amnesiac cop who's obsessed with tracking down a mysterious killer. Problem is everyone else thinks the killer is him, and why shouldn't they? The victims are all found near his home and each time they pop up it's the day after Ling has had a day off. Besides, have you seen how psychotic he looks?

Murderer is a typical murder mystery in which all clues lead back to the main character–and if you've seen your fair share of movies you know what that usually means. Don't take this as a spoiler, but as a warning because when the twist comes, it's laughably stupid. In fact, most of us at the screening did laugh. Still, until the twist kicks in Murderer is an intriguing ride.

Aaron Kwok continues to stretch his acting muscles here. It's commendable for a pretty-faced pop idol like him to take on such serious and emotional-demanding roles these past few years.

With the aforementioned grisly murder/death scenes, Murderer isn't a film for everyone. But for those looking for a standard murder mystery, it gets the job done even though the twist can be seen coming a mile away.

Verdict:8/10

thanks again to Nuffnang for organizing this screening as well..and thanks a bunch John!!!
