Movie Review: The Tower/타워

The_Tower2012-poster

Two hours of my life gone. 

The best thing I can say about this film is that it makes me realize that China/HK is not the only place in Asia that makes irredeemably shitty movies. 

I saw the trailer so I knew it would be bad, but I sincerely didn’t think you could make a movie this bad.

I almost have to admire their willingness to shamelessly pile on the melodrama scene after scene after scene, and do so with such thorough, consistent clumsiness. 

It could quite literally function as a parody film called Melodramatic Movie.

The best way to watch this film would be at home on DVD where you can howl derisively at its awfulness.

And, as a bonus, not howl derisively at audience members who are autistic enough to actually respond emotionally to the mind-bogglingly hackneyed garbage they’re watching.

[Digression: I blame TVB]

This could be an epic rant, but I just won’t waste the time.

Or risk the aneurysm.

The only other good thing I can say about this atrocity is that it allows me to use the adjective  Koretarded.
