I have to say that the 2012 crime thriller "Dai Jui Bou" (aka "Nightfall") was a rather surprisingly interesting and entertaning movie from writers Roy Hin Yeung Chow and Chi-Long To.
When I stumbled upon "Dai Jui Bou" here in 2022, it was the first time I have ever heard about the movie, so I wasn't sure what I was in for here with this movie from director Roy Hin Yeung Chow. But I opted to sit down and watch the movie, given my admiration of the Hong Kong cinema.
The storyline in "Dai Jui Bou", while starting out a somewhat slow paced and not a whole lot was actually going on, actually increased in its pacing and intensity as the movie progressed. So while it was off to a somewhat slow start, give it a chance and stick with it, because the writers definitely managed to put together an interesting and entertaining storyline, one that have you guessing throughout the entire course of the movie.
The movie has a good cast ensemble with Nick Cheung and Simon Yam in the leading roles. I've never actually been much of a fan of Nick Cheung, but he definitely carried "Dai Jui Bou" quite well with his performance here. And it is, of course, always nice to see Simon Yam in movies. "Dai Jui Bou" also have Ken Lo and Michael Wong on the cast list, and I will say that Michael Wong was an interesting cast choice for the movie, but he did pull it off quite nicely.
I thoroughly enjoyed "Dai Jui Bou" and it is a movie that I will warmly recommend if you enjoy watching crime thrillers.
My rating of "Dai Jui Bou" lands on a six out of ten stars.
