The story of 'Cha Wu' could sound like Juz another "Infernal Affairs" flick. however, i would beg to differ. this is entirely different and the cast is great. Francis Ng, Vivian Hsu and Ti Lung. and the movie work in the way a puzzle works(Literally). u get confused, but amazed by how the pieces linked up.
totally filmed in Sg, but its obvious the movie was created to have a strong feel of Hk, with the Cantonese announcements before the english ones at the train stations. one might be amused by how hard the makers tried to make it so Un-Singapore. it makes this city a mean one. Nice and grand on the outside, rotten @ the Core. degrading ppl, rampant killings, gangs and hit man.
Started with the impression of a rich man's son being kidnapped... and the vengeance stuff, but was totally wrong. that was juz the starting. its Bout Ah Cha (Francis Ng) Vengeance on ppl whu did harm to his best friend and sister.
Twist and turn.... an alter movie.... from this beautiful Island.
