review on The Stool Pigeon 线人

The Stool Pigeon 线人 is a quality Hong Kong Movie. That’s what i was thinking when i finish watching this movie. 1 hour and 50 minutes is quite a long time i must say but it was worth the ticket price.

Featuring Nicholas Tse 谢霆锋 and Nick Cheung 张家辉, both of which are talented award winning actors were somehow a boast for this movie i think. They are good at what they’re doing and in this movie itself they played their character pretty good as well.

Kwai Lun Mei 桂綸鎂 on the other hand was good at handling her role. Never did i imagine that she could take such role and i was actually impressed.

In this movie Nicholas is an informant reporting to Nick who plays a cop and in between the complications in their world, there were some other elements which supports the character showing a slightly different side of them.

In the world of an informant, nobody can be trusted and most of these people will end up in a very very sad state and this single point have been displayed through various movies especially by the Hong Kong movie industry in the past 10 years. Same goes to this movie.

What i like about this movie is they’ve got a good script & storyline along with the strong cast that made this movie entertaining for me, a complete storyline. But i must say that not many people would like this kind of film as there were quite a few scenes that were slow and draggy, scenes that further explains the characteristic of a person in the movie with a few flashbacks and such.

On top of that, because it’s a movie about the informant world, it’s one film which is quite dark if you know what i mean. It’s a movie that won’t make you relax and go hehe haha, so i’d figure out that some people will say no to such movie.
