Review of Minbo

Minbo (1992)
8/10
A little uneven in structure, but with a dynamite moral.
14 July 2022
The flick opens up with an extended segment playing out some skulduggery by ugly gangland types. While kind of interesting, it felt interminable at the time. That's the "uneven" thing I refer to.

But once that setup is established, it becomes an engaging flick, with a great moral lesson.

The lesson is this: The opposite of "fear" is *not* "bravery". The opposite of "fear" is "THE TRUTH".

And, personally, I really enjoyed how the flick explores that; and it does explore the forms which that "applied truth" can take, in practice--and tracking all that kept me on my toes for the duration of the flick.

Now that you know this, it's up to you. Sound like yr cup of tea?
