Election (1999) ///
Ekshiteu (Exit) (2019) Breezy action disaster sees aimless Jo Jong-suk's derided rock-climbing skills pivotal in saving family and reconnecting with university crush Im Yoon-ah when a poisonous fog is released on Seoul by revengeful scientist. Accent on comedy softens tension; character investment enlivened by appealing cast.
Daai laap mat taam Ling Ling Fat (Forbidden City Cop) (1996) Chaotic plot has palace agent, doctor and improbable inventor Stephen Chow overcome lack of martial arts to protect emperor. Yet beyond slapstick action, affectionate sparring with wife Carina Lau lies at heart of scattershot silliness.
The Quick And The Dead (1993) Striking visuals and slyly energetic Alan Silvestri score provide diverting if derivative setup as gunslinger Sharon Stone seeks revenge in Redemption where cruel Gene Hackman rules with violent quick draw competition. Single note exposition struggles to build tension.
Sisters (1972) Blunt themes of voyeurism and identity shift from satiric opening to bloody killing as edgy reporter Jennifer Salt claims to have witnessed murder in distracted Margot Kidder's apartment. Playful narrative misdirects and controlled visuals align with Bernard Herrmann's unnerving score.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Recycled nods to past installments and returning cast members fuel new group of friends hiding accidental death and hunted by vengeful, hook slashing fisherman. Scatty Madelyn Cline and practical Chase Sui Wonders combat flat staging and lack of thrills.
Klute (1971) Tense atmosphere feeds on densely calibrated visuals, capturing city threat and vice, while contriving mystery sympathetic to trapped call girl Jane Fonda whose only protection comes from dogged Donald Sutherland as he investigates missing friend. Compelling performances emerge from shadowy threat.
You've Got Mail (1998) Affectionate approach overcomes fanciful setup as Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks establish anonymous on-line relationship unknowing he represents corporate book chain looking to put her community store out of business. Fuzzy thematic resolve; warm humor and appealing cast.
Election (1999) Narrative spins light satire with broad sex comedy and bitter character study as eager Reese Witherspoon's attempt to become high school's student president are confronted by increasingly conflicted teacher Matthew Broderick's sabotage. Pacy humor illuminates pursuit of sour ambition.
