TIFF 2009 Day 5: Soi Cheang’s Accident

A title that received tremendous buzz from Venice, I came into Soi Cheang’s Accident (produced by Johnnie To) not knowing much, and though the intro sequence is well plotted, this tale of a team of assassins covering up their tracks in a picture perfect manner, falls in the trappings of a screenplay that attempt to get too creative and too witty in its smallish shell. Hong Kong cinema fans will discover a new addition to the stable, but the chilled nature of the film will ensure that this receives little love from audiences not comfortable with cheeky. Full review coming soon.
