Excellent but underrated film
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
One of the things I liked about this movie is that it wasn't about exploring a particular issue and building a story about it, as is the case so often in LGBT+ movies, but it really just depicts almost 'a day in the life of' a particular segment of the gay world that genuinely exists. I could almost put a real life name to most of the characters in the movie, have had most of those conversations on a day-to-day basis over the years, and seen or experienced most of the events that happen. Moments were happy, others were sad, some were matter-of-fact, but most of it let me take an objective view of the world going on around me, that most of my hetero friends would be shocked to hear of about me. Issues manifested themselves naturally by just "people watching", as felt like real life for me. Don't get me wrong, this is not representative of the entire gay community, or even the majority, but it feels real for that certain segment it is very real. I am not Taiwanese but I was seeing it with Taiwanese gay friends and they agreed with me 100% on it. I can't wait to own it on DVD but that's going to take a few months since it doesnt even come out in Taiwan for a couple of months.
