Lost in the Stars poster

A pretty fun and slick Chinese mystery. Plenty of twists and turns help to bridge the two-hour runtime, but it's the lush production and the lovely setting that provides the biggest payoff. Apart from some small details that cheapened the film, this is a film that should do well internationally (if it gets the chance).

The cast is top-notch (happy to see Ni Ni is still around), the exotic setting adds to the appeal, and the plot is pleasantly twisted (though not all that clever). Add some slick cinematography and you have a perfectly fine genre flick that kept me interested from start to finish.
