'The Sword Identity' Chinese Theatrical Poster
Wong Kar-Wai is notorious for taking his own sweet time in delivering a completed movie to theaters. Case in point: apparently the screenwriter for Kar-Wai’s next film, The Grandmasters, has gone and made his own film while we’re still waiting for The Grandmasters to reach completion. Xu Haofeng’s 2011 period actioner The Sword Identity made the rounds at several high profile festivals last year but only now does it have a theatrical release date.
Writer/director Xu Haofeng’s movie is a throwback to the old-school Chinese swordsman flicks and looks ready to impress with its tale of intrigue and invincible weaponry. The Sword Identity arrives in Chinese theaters on February 24th and should appear in Hong Kong a little less than a month after that. You can view the trailer here. Meanwhile, 24 Frames Per Second has the full plot synopsis and some posters here.

“Drive” International Theatrical Poster
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn
Writer: Hossein Amini, James Sallis
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, Albert Brooks, Kaden Leos, Jeff Wolfe, James Biberi
Running Time: 100 min.
By HKFanatic
When a director has good taste in music, or at least makes the right selections on the soundtrack, it can change the viewer’s entire perception of a film. Nicolas Winding Refn added an unexpected sense of melancholy and poignancy to the tale of Great Britain’s burliest and most violent prisoner, “Bronson,” by adding 80’s synth-poppers New Order, doomed 60’s pop crooner Scott Walker, and contemporary electronic music to the soundtrack. Similarly, the song selection for “Drive” is just as important as the lighting and camera angles in granting the film its particular vibe and aesthetic. “Drive” is cool, not because it tries to be but because it invents its own notion of cool and then remains expressly devoted to that notion for 95 minutes: pink neon fonts, icy electro-pop, Ryan Gosling in a Scorpion jacket, lowlifes dispatched in increasingly gruesome ways.
“Drive” features Ryan Gosling in yet another breakout performance from an actor who has seemed routinely on the verge of superstardom ever since 2004’s “The Notebook.” From the outside looking in, this could be an easy movie to poke fun at: the dialogue is rather unremarkable, the actors appear to have been instructed to let awkward silence grow before giving their lines, and Gosling remains stoically unemotional for most of the runtime.
What the film does deliver is a neon-lit love letter to Los Angeles; every backroad, freeway overpass, and skyscraper lovingly rendered with helicopter-shot views. Like Michael Mann and David Lynch before him, director Nicolas Refn creates an evocative portrait of LA; a glitzy wonderland surrounded by desert, its fringes populated by low-level criminals making deals in strip mall pizza joints. The film industry is its carefully perpetuated illusion – the real city only shows its face at night.
“Drive” is at its best when it delivers its tone poem mediation on the City of Angels and the Driver’s (Gosling) uncertain place in it. It’s rather remarkable to think that Refn knew nothing of the city before Gosling, the actor, showed him around; but clearly Refn has absorbed the work of the filmmakers who have come before him, particularly Michael Mann and Martin Scorsese. Refn’s particular talent is stripping the crime films of his predecessors’ down to their spiritual essence and adding contemporary, melodic electro-pop to the soundtrack, which makes the genre somehow feel new again. Casual movie-goers and die-hard genre buffs alike have embraced “Drive” because Refn speaks our cinematic language. He intrinsically knows what the audience wants to see; at any given moment that might be Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan staring longingly into each other’s eyes from across a restaurant table or Gosling smashing a thug’s hand to bits with a hammer.
Where the film breaks down is the third act. The growing relationship between Gosling and Mulligan and her son, this new surrogate family blooming amid the wasteland of LA, is more or less forgotten. The most interesting aspect of the film is arguably this love story and the growing tension it creates between Gosling and Mulligan’s fresh out of jail husband, wonderfully performed by Oscar Isaac. This plot line culminates in the pawn shop heist, the peak of viewer interest and excitement that the film never really recovers from. After this, the emotional thread of the first hour is replaced by your typical “kill by numbers” sequence that could be out of any slasher flick or gangster movie. “Drive” constantly surprises you in the moment but it’s terrible at paying off set-ups: the stunt mask, for one thing. The criminal characters, played well by Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman, come across as small-time paper tigers, not much of a challenge for our hero.
Regardless of whether or not “Drive” is a case of style over substance, it is a movie that people will watch again and again for its style. And on that level, it is immensely rewarding and remains one of 2011’s cinematic highlights. Nicolas Winding Refn reminds us that sometimes the greatest pleasure of the movies is simply inhabiting the world of a film. And for 95 minutes, “Drive” makes you feel like there’s no place more exciting to be than the passenger seat of Ryan Gosling’s car.
HKFanatic’s Rating: 9/10

"The Sniper" UK DVD Cover
Thanks to hit action-thrillers like Fire of Conscience and The Viral Factor, Dante Lam is arguably the biggest director in Hong Kong cinema right now. That might lead you to believe that all of his recent films would be readily available on Region 1 DVD, but sadly that’s not the case. His 2009 film The Sniper, starring Richie Ren and Edison Chen, has still not seen a release in the West.
Now the film is now slated for an official UK DVD release (Region 2) from Chelsea Films on March 12. If you’re in the UK, you might want to show your support for Hong Kong cinema by picking up a copy. Meanwhile, the rest of us can pick up the All-Region blu-ray or the Region 1 & 3 DVD available from online retailer DDDHouse. Check out a trailer of the film here.
Thanks to 24 Frames Per Second for the scoop
"SIU" Korean DVD Cover
SIU is a high-octane police thriller from the booming Korean film industry. The plot concerns two cops with differing methods who are tasked with investigating a drug-related murder. It doesn’t take long for the trail of corruption to lead to their own department. The film’s trailer promises pulse-pounding suspense, slick cinematography, and plenty of chase scenes.
SIU will arrive on Korean DVD on February 14th. It was directed by Hwang Byung Guk (Wedding Campaign) and stars Uhm Tae Woong (Cyrano Agency) and Joo Won (Don’t Click). The DVD is Region 3 so make sure you have an import player.

Dark Horse Comics' "Star Wars: Underworld"
Star Wars producer Rick McCallum has a new interview with IGN about the long-in-development live-action Star Wars TV show. The working title for the show is Star Wars: Underworld and it focuses on the 20 year gap between Episode III and IV, and the various criminal elements – bounty hunters, gangs, and corrupt politicians – who vie for control of the galaxy during that time. 50 scripts are already in the can. The problem for the show has always been getting the cost down to a manageable level, say $5 million an episode, and finding the right venue for it: network television or cable TV.
Update: AICN has a rumor that the show will incorporate time travel. Thanks to @timmaughan and @mynki for the tip.
TAKE THAT!
A live-action adaptation of Capcom’s popular visual novel game series “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney” is set for a theatrical release in Japan on February 11, 2012.

The movie is actually directed by Takashi Miike of “Ichi the Killer” and “Audition” fame. Bet you didn’t see that coming? In addition, ANN reports that film studio Toei will use computer effects to enhance the film’s dramatic court room scenes but will keep the video game’s signature catchphrases of “Objection!” and “Take that!”
Update: Dark Horizons has an awesome new photo from the film. You can also visit City on Fire’s Tumblr to check out the image.
Update 2: Video game blog Siliconera has a look at some teaser footage from the film.
Update 3: Crunchyroll has a look at the poster. Thanks to @aicnanime for the tip.
Update 4: Video game blog Siliconera has the full-length trailer.
Update 5: New trailer.
Update 6: Anime News Network uploaded more character profiles.
Update 7: Gamespot via Twitch reports plans for a worldwide release of the film.
Ransom Baby DVD (Mya Communication)
RELEASE: March 13, 2012
Not much is known about Ransom Baby, a 1975 Greek flick by writer/director Pavlos Filippou. The only information I was able to find about it was at imdb.com: (“Sea, Thrill, Sex and Action: The Usual Elements of Greek 70’s Cinema… The shock thriller of the year…”). No trailer on youtube, but there is this. It looks like it’s an obscure crime/thriller from the 70’s. That’s good enough for me.
“Outrage: Way of the Yakuza” American DVD Cover
Director: Takeshi Kitano
Writer: Takeshi Kitano
Cast: Takeshi Kitano, Kippei Shiina, Ryo Kase, Tomokazu Miura, Jun Kunimura, Tetta Sugimoto, Takashi Tsukamoto, Hideo Nakano, Renji Ishibashi, Fumiyo Kohinata
Running Time: 109 min.
By HKFanatic
“Outrage” is Takeshi ‘Beat’ Kitano’s first Yakuza film in ten years (since 2000’s “Brother“). Kitano himself admitted he designed the film from the ground up to be a commercial crowd-pleaser, a goal that seems well within his reach as writer, director, editor, and supporting actor. While “Outrage” may not be commercial in the Hollywood sense, it is easily one of the most swiftly-paced and violent movies of Kitano’s career. Whereas his previous gangster pictures saw him using violence as a way to punctuate scenes of poetic silence, in “Outrage” it feels like somebody is brutally beaten or murdered at least once every ten minutes. This is a merciless film. It’s also one of the most purely entertaining gangster pictures to come down the pike in quite some time.
Takeshi Kitano doesn’t exactly break new ground in the Yakuza genre with “Outrage” but that doesn’t seem to be the point. Its tale of a quiet war between two Yakuza families is well-told and thoroughly engaging. The story presents the Yakuza as the ultimate cut-throat corporation; you’re just as likely to be slated for an execution as you are a promotion. There is a “Godfather”-like level of scheming and manipulation going on behind the scenes. The message I took away from the film was something like: in a world where your sworn brothers can betray you at any moment, it’s better to go out in a blaze of glory than wait to be hunted down like an animal.
I dare say “Outrage” is close to being a perfect Yakuza movie, but for a lengthy subplot in the middle of the film concerning the Gbannan ambassador. Not only does this sequence feature some awkwardly voiced English dialogue, but it trades in the kind of casual racism that Japanese society has long been in the shadow of. Although one could argue that this subplot is crucial since it shows how the Yakuza are able to use diplomatic immunity to cover their crimes, I imagine most viewers will find these scenes to be poorly acted and in bad taste. The African ambassador is portrayed as a clueless stooge of the Yakuza, engaging in illegal gambling and drug trafficking, and is at least once the butt of a racist joke. If you could excise this entire subplot, the film would be close to flawless – unfortunately, it causes the film to sag around the halfway mark, right when the plot should be gaining momentum.
I would be amiss to reveal much more about “Outrage” because part of the pleasure in watching it is that you have no idea who’s going to live or die, or who’s manipulating who. The sudden and graphic bursts of violence are even more gruesome than your average horror movie – I pride myself on having an iron stomach when it comes to gore but a scene at the dentist’s office managed to leave me rattled. At the same time, I found myself frequently laughing out loud during parts of “Outrage.” There’s a certain absurd quality to the sight of a bunch of well-dressed Japanese men sitting in barely-furnished office rooms, delivering guttural yells and ordering each other to cut off their pinky fingers. Takeshi Kitano ‘gets’ it – he embraces the limitations and dark humor of this genre he knows so well.
The blu-ray from Magnet features an immaculate visual transfer that helps highlight the gorgeous cinematography – this has some of the best lighting I’ve seen in a film all year. I can whole-heartedly recommend a purchase for anyone curious about this film. Long-time fans of Kitano may be disappointed that “Outrage” lacks the outwardly poetic and meditative quality of films like “Sonatine” or “Violent Cop,” but much like Takashi Miike’s “13 Assassins,” this film represents a master of his craft operating at the height of his powers in a commercial mode. See it sooner rather than later.
