A slightly older Oxide Pang film that never made it over here. I'm not quite sure why (apart from the West losing interest in Asian genre cinema), because this was a fun and slick crime/thriller, sporting Pang's flashy editing and stylish presentation. It's not among the best films he made, but still pretty damn solid.
The cinematography is nice, the editing is slick and the score is effective. The Pangs always made sure the presentation of their films was on point, and The Big Call is no exception. The plot isn't too original though and the film could've been a little shorter, other than that, a very good film.
