This is the second time I sit down to watch the 2002 movie "Double Vision" (aka "Shuang tong"). I watched it for the first time back in around 2005 or so, but honestly have zero recollection of the movie whatsoever. So as I had the chance to revisit the movie again in 2021, I sat down to watch it.
Yeah, let me just be the first to say that this movie was confusing and I honestly have no clue what it was about or what was really going on. To me, this movie was a massive swing and a miss. So it seems that I haven't really been missing out on a great cinematic masterpiece here by not remembering this 2002 movie.
I literally have no idea or clue as to what writers Chao-Bin Su and Kuo-Fu Chen were trying to accomplish with the storyline they concocted for "Double Vision".
As I sat down again in 2021 to watch it, I must admit that seeing that the movie had Tony Ka Fai Leung on the cast list was somewhat of a bonus. But as it turned out then even he could not manage to do much for this train wreck of a movie.
Aside from Tony Ka Fai Leung, then the movie also have the likes of David Morse and Rene Liu on the cast list, so it wasn't because the movie was inadequately cast, not at all.
This movie was just simply one that went over my head, and I must admit that it offered not a whole lot of enjoyment or entertainment value actually. As the movie ended, I just sat there with no answers to the questions as to what was really going on. So it was a waste of time really.
My rating of "Double Vision" lands on a mere three out of ten stars, based mostly on the fact that the movie's storyline was just rubbish. The acting in the movie was good, and the production level of the movie was good. But the abysmal storyline just dragged everything down.
