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.… Expand

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