Lost

The Chinese version of Saw without blood. That sounds very nasty! Fortunately, it turned out to be a very enjoyable and atmospheric piece. The film kicks off from the first minute and we hear the "puzzle man's" voice right away. The two leads are great, the charismatic main character and the very pretty and busty heroine are forced to fight to the death in rooms where they have to perform tasks. There’s no gore to speak of, but this film earns its attributes elsewhere. Some of the scenes were so suspenseful that I held my cell phone in my hand, thinking I'd call an ambulance. The intelligence of the film can't be denied either, and the main twist is very original. 65%. (02/23/2014)
