Movie review: Painted Skin
I’m still on my streak of bad movies. This one is one of the worst so far.
Horror? Not really. Comedy? Not really. Action (since Donnie Yen is in the show, one would expect lots of fighting, right?)? Not really. Love story? Not really.
Really really bad filming, storyline and acting…oh yeah, baby, it’s all there.
Seriously, if you’re going with the expectations of really good fight scenes, you’ll be seriously seriously disappointed (sorry about the repeated ’seriously’s…been rewatching Grey’s Anatomy recently…
). Honestly, don’t waste your money watching this in the cinema, just go buy the RM10 DVD from your nearby friendly pirated DVD shop…
I don’t know how Zhou Xun, who won the Best Actress award for her role in Perhaps Love, ended up in this farce of a show. However, the rest of the cast were so lousy that I ended up rooting for her huli jing character instead.
Speaking of huli jings, don’t we all know one girl that reminds you of one? The one that all guys go ga-ga for but all girls mistrust?
