Switch (2013) Review by moviexclusive from Singapore
Originally scheduled to be released last October but delayed due toproblems with heavy post-production work, not to mention countlessediting by the director, the end result is at best a patchy piece ofwork passing off as a Chinese version of Mission Impossible: GhostProtocol.

Directed and written by newcomer Jay Sun, Switch is a high octaneaction espionage thriller filled with globe-trotting locations, anarray of gizmos mostly in the form of Nokia smartphones, flashy Audicars and a star studded cast including HK superstar Andy Lau, Taiwan'stop model Lin Chiling (Red Cliff) and Chinese actors Zhang Jingchu(Protégé) and Tong Dawei (Treasure Inn).

You might think this is going to an exciting, jaw-dropping actionextravaganza for the next 112 minutes but like me, your jaw is going todrop for the wrong reasons.

After a clumsy prologue which establishes the value of the famous YuanDynasty scroll Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, we are introduced toseveral characters - namely our hero, Xiao Jinhan (Andy Lau), a secretagent who is married to an insurance project director Lin Yuyan (ZhangJingchu; while the villains include the generically named Yamamoto(Tong Dawei), an ambiguous agent, Lisa (Lin Chiling), a weirdunderworld leader, Empress (Siqin Gaowa) and a bunch of Caucasianthugs. What is supposedly an easy-to-follow, good versus evil actionthriller becomes a hot mess under the hands of Jay Sun.

Obviously, Sun has no idea how to shoot an intense action scene or atleast keep you on the edge of your seat. He prefers to jump from onescene to another without much coherence thrown in. Agent Xiao justpropels from the ceiling all of a sudden. And why is Yamamoto somesmerised by the painting? Oh we are supposed to believe Lisa is alsocarrying a torch for Agent Xiao. This is no music video mind you and itbecomes increasingly frustrating to watch the characters as they spouttheir lines without much emotion and continuity. There's so much on thescreen but everything just seems jarringly off. To his credit, Sundoeshave an eye for visuals; the production design is so rich andcolourful, you are better off admiring the artistic touches instead offollowing the story.

This is an absolutely embarrassing gig for Andy Lau - just when youthought the charismatic idol finally has a chance to showcase hisacting in productions liked A Simple Life and Detective Dee, Switchonly makes him looks nothing more than a walking, fighting mannequin.Tong Dawei equally suffers as the tortured, psychotic villain with alaughingly bad white hairdo while Lin Chiling received the worsttreatment of all, she ends up as a irritable moaning, seductivecharacter.

Our palms turned sweaty when we watch Tom Cruise hanging off theskyscraper in Dubai; though we never really feel a thing for Agent Xiaowhen he fight off a few thugs and crashed his car in the grand Atlantisin Dubai as well. Sun tries to imitate even to a certain extent byengaging Hollywood stunt choreographer and 3D experts for this movie.Everything that worked in the Cruise vehicle fails in epic proportionsfor Switch however. It never picks up from the get-go and simplysplutters all the way to the credits.
