I’m currently on break from watching any Girls’ Generation videos and so to fill up my time and to find something new which interests me, I’ve wiki-ed Li Bingbing’s acting filmography and am now watching the films which she has acted in.
Recently, I’ve watched The Message, an espionage (spy-like) movie set in the World War era where the Japanese army has taken over China. There is this Government organization and there is a mole among them, one who is secretly leading a rebellion and murdering several officials.
So the objective of this movie is to uncover who is the mole. Five top rank members of the organization who has been speculated to be the mole have been detained in a castle where interrogation will be carried out. The authorities used any method in acquiring information, going as far as torturing them using acupuncture techniques to hit their pressure points (it hurts a lot mind you) and a strip check was performed on one of the female lead.
While others were frantically struggling to proof their innocence, the mole was struggling to get a message out from the castle to his/her comrades outside.
Now, the beginning of the movie itself isn’t very interesting, heck it’s a bit boring at first. But when the plot started to roll and the strategies began to unfold, everything was so intense and the show just got more interesting. This is the kind of movie when while watching at first, you’ll be like “what are they doing? I don’t get it” then when everything got explained at the end, you’ll be like “OMG GENIUS!! Who would’ve thought of that plan!!!” get what I’m trying to say? =D
There really is nothing must to critique about this movie really. Everything was planned out so well and the details they put in are so well done. No wonder the movie did well with the professional critiques and also Ms Li won Best Actress for her role here.
Overall this movie is freaking awesome (if you can make it all the way to the end and feel the “OMG GENIUS!! Who would’ve thought of that plan!!!” kinda of feelings). Really worth watching and worth your time.
