Review of Wa dong ren

Wa dong ren (2002)
5/10
2 stars (out of 4)
11 January 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Turtle and Chewy are two dim-bulb lowlifes who plan to kill someone. In preparation, they find a secluded spot and dig a deep hole. They are constantly arguing with each other, sometimes humorously. Meanwhile, Will is a rich man whose wife plots to have her boyfriend kidnap Will in order to steal some money. The two stories eventually intersect.

I found it hard to keep the characters straight at times, and while the film has some good moments, on the whole it is fairly forgettable.

Seen on 11/4/2002 at the 2002 Hawaii International Film Festival.

Note: This is *not* a remake of Renoir's 1939 film with the same English title, although you could argue that there are some upper class and some lower class characters. But I don't buy it.
