Synopsis

A modern HK Cinema throwback to eighties triad dramas. Jordan Chan is Cho, a recently released ex-con who was imprisoned when he took the heat for a killing performed by his childhood buddy Dik (Patrick Tam). Now free, Cho only wants to be rid of the triad life, but finds himself inexorably drawn back in when Dik reappears. Dik is now a top triad lieutenant, and only wants to repay Cho for his loyalty and friendship. The two reforge their friendship, but it's an uneasy alliance which is complicated by Dik's seeming enjoyment at the violence of the triad life. Matters reach a head when Cho romances San (Cherrie Ying), the girlfriend of Dik's triad boss, leading to an explosive confrontation between the two longtime friends. Directed with smart, low-key precision by Marco Mak, The Wall is a tense action drama which recalls the righteous triad dramas of old!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The Illuminated Lantern Two young gang-banger buddies trying to prove themselves kill their target, but only one gets caught. More than a decade later, Jordan Chan gets out of prison and looks to start a new life, while his old friend, played by Patrick Tam, has become a big triad boss. Things get decidedly silly when Tam, to show how much he missed his friend, shows him a telescope he used to watch the prison grounds every day. When an undercover cop is killed by the gang, the police chief (Simon Loui, bringing some nice energy to an otherwise typical role) will stop at nothing to bring Tam down. Jordan Chan is pretty flat and uninspired, and the film never quite takes off.
