Somewhat slow paced...

When I sat down to watch the 2013 Hong Kong movie "A Complicated Story", it was without ever having actually heard about the movie before. But my admiration for the Hong Kong cinema made me pick up the movie and give it a chance.

As I wasn't sure what writers Kiwi Chow and Kei Shu had in store for me, I sat down to watch this movie with a clean slate and every chance of being entertained and bedazzled.

However, I have to admit that the pacing of the narrative in this movie was a bit too slow paced and uneventful for my particular liking and preference of movie. So this movie was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me. As such, then the storyline just didn't really manage to capture my interest.

There are some familiar faces on the cast list, if you are familiar with Hong Kong cinema. The movie has the likes of Jacky Cheung, Deannie Ip and Hoi-Pang Lo on the roster.

My rating of of this 2013 drama lands on a three out of ten stars.
