An absolute train wreck
Incoreherent and Dull are two words that describe this cinematic disaster.

With Aaron Kwok on the cover (I’m a fan!) and having read the back, I was convinced that Port of Call was well worth the rental. I was wrong.

Based on a real-life case, a detective (Kwok) investigates the presumed murder of a teenage prostitute. By this, I mean that a boat-load of blood has been found – which matches the DNA of a missing girl – but no body… any and all suspense then goes out the window as some bloke strolls into a police station and admits his guilt.

With an excellent DoP and a case that supposedly gripped Hong Kong, I can see why Kwok got involved – hell, maybe the screenplay was decent too? But the end result (perhaps the director’s or editor’s fault?) is a heavily disjointed mishmash of scenes, none of which hold much dramatic value nor build any of the cast’s characters. I honestly tried hard to like the film but it’s an almost empty attempt at – what? Being arty? Trying to say something the bland characters cannot spell out? – that after an hour, I couldn’t suffer it any more… and with so many films in my To Watch pile and so little time, I can ill-afford wasting a full 90 minutes on what it so obviously a stinker.

And that’s my advice to you all too: avoid.

A strong plot
In Cantonese, Mandarin and bits of English. Set in Hong Kong. Based on an actual event.

Contains a strong plot and a somewhat over long narration.

The first part covers the discovery of the crime and the police investigation. The second part tells the story of the ‘victim’. The third part unravels the motivation. Horrifying and sad, but gives closure to the detective (Aaron Kwok).

Good human interest story without the psychoanalysis. Aaron Kwok plays an eccentric detective. Fine performances from the young cast; Jessie Lin and Michael Ning.

Warning: It’s for an adult audience. Some steamy sex scenes and gore.
