Too much of a good thing for Triangle
Related Articles
28 August 2008
This serio-comic Hong Kong thriller is a single story but has three directors passing the baton to each other. They are, in order, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam and Johnny To. The story has three drinking friends — who need money badly — organising a heist that will make them rich. They have to steal a box from Hong Kong’s Legislative Building and inside it they find valuable artefacts and millions of notes.
The film is made confusing not only by the twisting plot but by the varied styles of the three cult directors. Johnny To is the most successful, with a good finale, but it might have been better if one or the other film-makers had directed the whole thing.
