Triangle is such an appropriate title for this Hong Kong crime thriller. It isn't just because the story revolves around 3 friends, but more that this film is directed by Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Johnnie To.Each of the aforementioned directors directs a 30 minute segm

Maybe it was me, but i didn't feel that this worked well. I won't blame the direction, which is quite fine except the first act, the script is full of characters, sub-plots and a lot of stuff that goes on and off for no real reason. The cast is great, and Suet Lam almost steals t... read more

January 29, 2008fb6025506Pretty interesting; very intriguing idea by the 3 directors to film this movie the way that they did- 3 directors directing a third of a film, one after another- continuing where the other left offi.

I liked the idea, but the actual movie is rather unmemorable (perhaps I would have been able to write a fuller review if I had hustled and gotten this done earlier instead of waiting two months, gah).
As well, it suffers from the classic problem that surfaces whenever three aute... read more -

Three amazing directors manage to tell a rather mundane story as three buddies try to pull of a heist amid various personal turmoils and financial woes.
The film is somewhat interesting in the set-up, but falters in the middle segment and never fully recovers once we get into th... read more -

It's more of a study film than anything else, an odd experience that's part heist, part road movie, part redemption story. An incredibly interesting film, however. I love the tense and consistently worrisome atmosphere. And the three directors do their thing just right and make a... read more

The cinematic equivalent of an inedible mess where ingredients war with one another and no one has paid any attention to the poor fellow who must consume the meal.
Your best strategy is simply to sit back, try to follow along, and enjoy the hijinks. Full Review
A convoluted crime caper with strong ethical underpinnings to support its many moods and styles.
The film is made confusing not only by the twisting plot but by the varied styles of the three cult directors. Full Review
To's stylishly choreographed, action-led finale wraps things up with a blackly humorous and suspenseful stand-off in an outdoor restaurant. Full Review
But there is an inescapable air of disappointment that three brilliant directors have handed in a movie that barely scratches the potential of the experiment. Full Review
Three of Hong Kong cinema's top names take turns to direct this batty heist-gone-wrong thriller, which proceeds from stylish-but-incomprehensible (Tsui Hark) through crunchy and violent (Ringo Lam) to... Full Review
The filmic equivalent of pass-the-parcel on Triangle, a convoluted crime caper about a mysterious gold coin and the luckless bozos on its trail. Full Review
The results are messy, incoherent and ultimately three times as tedious. Full Review
