Mr Axolotl

Accident, intriguing mystery with unique plot

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love Asian films and am always looking for something different. I found it in Accident, starring Louis Koo, Ritchie Ren, and Lam Suet (always a favorite of producer/director Johnny To). Another reviewer talks about the technical aspects of the disc, but I don't find that to be a problem for me, this is the only version I've ever watched so I am not qualified to speak about how it compares to other versions. This version looks fine to me. I looked into getting the original format disc from another source but it's an all region disc and my BD player, Sony, does not play those types of discs. The cover mistakenly says it is in 2.35:1 aspect ratio but it is the standard 16x9 ratio of widescreen sets. Has DTS-HD 5.1 Cantonese language with English subtitles. 87 minutes.

What makes Accident so interesting to me is the first couple of times I watched it, I wondered just what was going on? There is an ambiguous angle to the plot and it's not obvious what the truth is. I think I know now after repeated viewings but I still enjoy watching it again and again for other reasons. The accidents, done by the small team (three men and one woman) are cleverly planned and executed, we get to see a couple of them.

Louis Koo plays Brain, the mastermind of a small gang of hired killers who make their victims appear to have died through an accident. But something goes wrong on an assignment and that's when you being to wonder what is happening, why it is happening, and who is behind it, if anyone. There are interesting cinematic angles and street scenes, a plus to watching foreign films. Lam Suet is a character actor who is always fun to watch (he plays Fatty). Ritchie Ren plays the man of mystery who may be behind a killing contract and the disruption of the gang, or may just be an innocent bystander (I'm still not sure).

Enjoy and figure it out for yourself!

Minimalist art on film

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

This subtle psychological drama is quite a gem. The main character, played by Louis Koo, lives his life analyzing everything around him. Mathematically, precisely, cynically. I imagine the world looks vastly different to him. Instead of a busy street, he sees endless paths and possibilities whizzing off in complex, industrial fractals. The film itself asks the same from us. It asks that we try to interpret fleeting blank expressions using situational and ironic context. It asks that we feel emotion not through dialogue or music, but through lighting, through distance from subject to camera, and through indirect shots and angles. Therefore, the film plays with emphasis by focusing on background film devices and minimizing foreground devices. This gives the movie an unusual, minimalistic style that some viewers may be bored by if they don't pick it up. However, if you watch the film with the intention to obey it's request and analyze, you'll enjoy and appreciate it thoroughly. Here's a hint: when you watch this movie, pay special attention to the symbolism of the broken watch and how it represents the main character. It's a small piece of the movie, but important for understanding.

Makes you think if "accidents" are really what they seem

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

Are tragic "accidents" in life really accidents? Or are they carefully plotted, meticulous eliminations and murders made to fool you, and the police, and the intelligence community? What a film ... raw, exciting, dynamic, tightly plotted and presented. A film that from the opening scene makes you think and wonder and doubt your judgements about people, actions or lack thereof, and life.

Before you watch this brilliant film watch the four part "making of" where the actors, actresses, producer and director come to grips with their work and try and explain (without giving too much away) how and why it was done. It whet my appetite for the actual film itself, and it is so gripping and mind affecting that you will no doubt go back and watch it several times over to catch every nuance of the characters, every emotion or lack of it, and every carefully constructed accident.

Nothing but positive reactions to this one from the cover art to the blu-ray disc itself. Take some time and immerse yourself in this flawless film, and then be very careful the next time you do anything in any way that might cause your own or another's "accident".

Ein Meisterwerk ohne Allüren!

Reviewed in Germany on March 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Warum können die "Deutschen" keine guten Filme machen?.......und warum kann ein Land, dessen zeitgenössisches künstlerisches Schaffen größtenteils außerhalb unserer Wahrnehmung stattfindet, wunderbare, professionell und gutgemachte und verkaufbare Filme produzieren? Dieser Thriller könnte als Vorbild für einen thematisch gut strukturierten und über die ganze Länge spannenden Films gelten, getragen von überzeugenden und engagierten Schauspielern. Das "Casting" ist in der Filmproduktion sehr wichtig, das weiß man in diesem Lande anscheinend noch nicht und "Regie" ist gar ein Fremdwort? Ich habe eine große Filmsammlung mit nur wenigen deutschen Filmen, alles Klassiker. Wer heute deutsche Filme anschaut, versteht nichts von guten Filmen!

Thriller sorprendentemente esistenziale

Reviewed in Italy on May 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Accident sembra scorrere senza sussulti, quando invece, sottopelle, crea una tensione notevole.
Ricorda molto (e secondo me volutamente) il capolavoro di Francis Ford Coppola "La Conversazione". Anche qui il thriller diventa un thriller dell'anima e della percezione, con un protagonista che di mestiere fa il killer attraverso sofisticati impianti di spionaggio che gli permettono di simulare incidenti che sono in realtà veri e propri omicidi, ma si trova ad un tratto spiazzato, perchè qualcun altro si mette a farli al posto suo, mettendo lui e il suo team a repentaglio. QUalcuno li spia, qualcuno usa i suoi stessi metodi per rovinargli la piazza e metterlo in pericolo.
E allora l'illusione di poter dominare e controllare le vite altrui, cede il passo al sospetto che la sua stessa vita non sia più sotto il suo controllo.

Senza esagerare, il regista, molto abilmente, ci conduce pian piano dentro questa consapevolezza, facendo crescere la tensione e l'ansia esistenziale del protagonista, che diventa anche la nostra.
Veramente ottimo e inusuale come thriller.

Il DVD, provato su schermo UHD, rende molto bene

Gefährliche Paranoia...

Reviewed in Germany on December 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

The Brain (Louis Koo) ist der Kopf eines professionellen Killer-Quartetts, das seine Opfer auf besondere Weise um die Ecke bringt.
Es gibt einen luktativen Markt für seine speziellen Methoden, denn oft werden Auftragskiller in Mafiakreisen verpflichtet, den Mord "wie einen Unfall" aussehen zu lassen.
Zu Brains Team gehören auch der "Onkel" (Shui-Fan Fung), "Woman" (Michelle Ye) und "Fatty" (Suet Lam) besteht. Diese perfekt miteinander agierende Truppe ist bekannt dafür nicht den kleinsten Fehler bei der Ausführung ihres Auftrags zu machen.
Doch der letzte Auftrag hätte vielleicht Probleme gemacht, denn der kettenreauchende Onkel hätte beinahe einen Klimmstengel am Tatort hinterlassen. Nur durch die Aufmerksamkeit von Woman wird der Fehler behoben. Schon wartet auch der nächste Auftrag.
Die Vorbereitung werden perfekt getätigt, denn The Brain hat sich im Lauf der Jahre auch eine gewisse Paranoia erworben, er fürchtet die Konkurrenz, die ihn vielleicht sabotieren will, auch den Auftraggebern selbst bleibt er eher misstrauisch gesinnt und bleibt vorsichtig.
Tatsächlich passiert bei der Ausführung des Auftrags ein Busunglück, bei dem Fatty das Leben verliert.
Ein Verdächtiger ist mit dem Versicherungsangestellten Fong (Richie Ren) auch bald schon gefunden, der auch mit dem letzten Auftraggeber in Verbindung zu stehen scheint...
Ein Thriller über die Kontrollsucht eines Auftragskillers. So steht "Accident" von Soi Cheang sogar in naher Verwandtschaft mit Francis Ford Coppolas großartigem 70er Meisterwerk "Der Dialog".
Der Film beginnt mit guter Action, mündet dann aber in eine langamere, subtile Erzählweise ein, die die Paranoia erst richtig einfangen.
Die Art und Weise, wie die Geschichte erzählt wird, ist dabei eher subtil und lässt auch Raum für unterschiedliche Interpretationen, ohne dabei verworren oder ziellos zu wirken.
Sehr gutes Spannungskino mit philospophischem Einschlag.

Unglaublich fesselnder Hochspannungsthriller und zugleich geniale Anklage an das Böse!

Der Film ist ein von Anfang bis Ende spannendes und auf erschütternde Weise teils auch zu Herzen gehendes Meisterwerk - herausragend insbesondere in Regie und Drehbuch!
Ein Geheimtipp könnte man sagen - da auch schon etwas älter...
