I love all those elegant violence and I love Ge Hu, the handsome man gives a superb and measured performance as Zhou Ze Nong.

It's a shame, too, because of the aesthetics that are in play in nearly every frame. There's so many images featuring expressive lighting, deliberate blocking, and brilliant camera movements -- it's just a drag that so many of the scenes that these things occur within have very little to them circumstantially speaking. If only as much were placed into the construction of this film's second act as there was placed in its sleek and potentially indelible look. Expand

The Wild Goose Lake is a story that could be likened to the successive fall of some domino's.
A story centered on a chain of events triggered by a simple fight that ends in an unfortunate hunt for the head of its protagonist.

This film is a noir crime story in which the main character; Zhou Zenong is seen fleeing from the criminals with whom he was associated after the mentioned argument. Worse for him, in his escape he ends up killing a police officer by mistake and now they too are after him.
What follows is an unstoppable hunt for his ass.

The Wild Goose Lake is a vibrant but wise movie.
There are certain moments in which it abuses a bit of the realism considering of how many situations the protagonist escapes from, and the violent way in which he achieves it. That impaling with an umbrella was remarkable.
However, even with the numbered slowdowns, it's solvent and rather entertaining. Maybe not exceptional, but certainly pleasing.

Never interested by the film, the story or the characters. The exoticism of China and no surprise. Madison Boney M.
