Sky on Fire

Ringo Lam's swansong is this disappointing action thriller starring the one and only Daniel Wu, and both star and director deserve better material. Wu plays the head of security for some big pharmaceutical company in China, but there's a conspiracy surrounding cancer-curing stem cells and before long various interested parties are shooting up a storm. I really wanted to like this film but sadly it feels much more like a mainland China movie than a Hong Kong one, if you know what I mean. Lam's direction is incredibly disjointed and the big cast doesn't help lessen the confusion. There are a few fun vehicular chases and at least one good fight scene, but the rest is just a bland and disjointed mess.
